Strengthening the CO2 emission performance targets for new heavy-duty vehicles (debate)
Shadow reports (1)
REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 as regards strengthening the CO₂ emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and integrating reporting obligations, and repealing Regulation (EU) 2018/956

(10a) Vehicle procurement rules are an important lever to accompany the transition pathway and can complement the manufacturers’ emissions reduction efforts. In particular, the role that procurement of heavy-duty vehicles used for corporate fleets can play should be addressed. Large fleet operators tend to have the latest models of heavy-duty trucks in their fleet, while a large number of small and medium sized fleet operators in the Union are buying these trucks second hand after 3 to 4 years of operation. Setting zero emission objectives for this segment will help secure demand for zero emission heavy-duty vehicles and boost the second-hand market. In this regard, Member states should take all necessary measures to ensure that, by 2030, 100% of new heavy-duty motor vehicles owned or leased by large fleet operators are zero-emission.

(12) The Union fleet-wide targets are to be complemented by the necessary roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as set out in the Commission Proposal for a regulation on the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure16 . Strengthened CO2 emission reduction requirements should also incentivise additional investments in infrastructure, beyond the legally required minimum, enabling a large infrastructure roll-out. To that end, the European Commission should present a report by (6 month after the entry into force of this regulation) setting out actions to reduce the duration of the permit granting process for recharging infrastructure. __________________ 16 Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, and repealing Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, 14.7.2021, COM/2021/559 final.

(17) With the stricter Union fleet-wide targets from 2030 onwards, manufacturers will have to deploy significantly more zero-emission vehicles on the Union market. In that context, the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘ZLEV’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. The ZLEV incentive mechanism should therefore beFurthermore, considering the high Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of zero-emission vehicles, there is no compelling reason to continue providing additional incentives to low-emission vehicles. The ZLEV incentive mechanism should therefore cease to apply to low-emission heavy-duty vehicles as of 2025 and be fully removed as of 2030.

Recital 21 – paragraph 4
Recital 21 – paragraph 4
As for certain vehicle groups, which are type-approved, CO2 emissions are not determined yet for technical reasons, these vehicles do not have to meet the CO2 targets set by this Regulation. These are for example special purpose vehicles, such as mobile cranes, carriers of hydraulic multi- equipment or exceptional load transport vehicles, off-road vehicles, such as certain vehicles used for mining, forestry and agricultural purposes, as well as other vehicles with non-standard axle configurations such as vehicles with more than 4 axles or more than 2 driven axles, small buses with a maximum mass lower than 7,5 t, and small lorries with a maximum mass lower than 5t.

Recital 21 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Recital 21 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Due to the technical readiness of the vehicle segment and the need to improve air quality in cities, small lorries with a maximum mass lower than 5t should also have to meet the CO2 targets set by this Regulation. As for these vehicle sub- groups, CO2 emissions cannot be determined yet for technical reasons under Regulation (EU) 2017/2400, their CO2 emissions as determined under type- approval under Regulation (EU) 715/2007 should be used for the purpose of calculating average specific CO2 emissions of manufacturers. While these vehicles do not fall under the monitoring and reporting obligations of vehicle manufacturers, their new registrations are reported by EU member states.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21 – paragraph 5
Recital 21 – paragraph 5
Vocational vehicles, such as garbage trucks, tippers or concrete mixers, should not continue to be exempted from the calculation of average specific CO2 emissions of manufacturers. However, recognizing their specific uses, this Regulation should apply specific requirements to them. CO2 emissions from vocational vehicles, such as garbage, tippers or concrete mixers, are already certified under VECTO, monitored and reported by vehicle manufacturers as well as Member States. In addition, zero-emission vocational vehicles are already commercially available in Europe. As they mostly operate in urban areas, vocational vehicles also significantly impact urban air quality. Separate CO2 emission reduction targets should therefore apply to those vehicles.

(27a) Urban areas in which significant investments have already been allocated or spent on the conversion of infrastructure to allow for the use of biomethane in urban buses - city buses and inter-urban buses - over a long period of time should be able to apply for a temporary derogation from the target for urban buses. Member States should consult the Commission on such applications and may grant a derogation until at the latest 2040.

Member States may decide to exclude from the obligation under this Article a limited share of the urban buses - city buses and inter-urban buses - registered in each reporting period, confirming that the purpose of the vehicle cannot be equally served by a zero-emission vehicle and it is thus in the public interest to register a non- zero emission vehicle to fulfil that purpose, due to socio-economic cost-benefit in view of specific territorial morphology or meteorological circumstances. This exemption shall cease by 2040.
