Recital 2 a (new)
Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Recognising that most industry sectors in the European Union have made great efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and increase efficiency, producers of light commercial vehicles need also to become more efficient in order to achieve ambitious European climate targets.

Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) According to the technical analysis made for the impact assessment, the technologies to meet the target of 147 g CO2/km are available and the required reductions may be achieved at a lower cost than estimated in the previous analysis carried out previous to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. In addition, the distance between the current average specific emissions of CO2 from new light commercial vehicles and the target has also decreased. Therefore, the feasibility of the target of 147 g CO2/km to be reached by 2020 is confirmed a more ambitious target for 2020 is feasible as well as cost- effective.

(4a) The automotive industry works with long planning cycles and should be informed sufficiently in advance about future targets. Introducing a target of 95 g CO2/km for 2025 in this Regulation provides planning certainty and ensures that efforts to improve the fuel efficiency of new vans are continued beyond 2020.

Recital 4 b (new)
(4b) Increasing fuel costs are becoming a major problem for European businesses whereas the European Union imports most of the oil used in the transport sector. A reduction in fuel consumption would help both the businesses and the Union by decreasing oil dependency.
