(24) The speed of road vehicles has a stris onge influence on their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In addition, in the absence of speed limitation for light commercial vehicles, it is possible that there is an element of competition as regards top speed which could lead to oversized powertraline with the principle that, in reducing CO2 emissions, more use should be made of economic incentives and less of prohibitions, a voluntary scheme granting manufacturers, in return for the installation of speed limiters, certain credits in respect of the CO2 emissions saved might contribute to promotinsg and associated inefficiencies in slower operating condit more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly fleet of LCVs in the Unions. It is therefore appropriate to investigate the feasibility of extendingFirst, however, urgent measures should be taken to investigate scientifically whether significant quantities of CO2 emissions can be saved by the installation of speed limiters and if so whether it is possible to extend the scope of Council Directive 92/6/EEC on the installation and use of speed limitation devices for certain categories of motor vehicles in the Community, in the framework of a voluntary scheme with bonuses, with the aim of including light commercial vehicles covered in this Regulation.
