REGULATION (EU) 2024/1610 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 14 May 2024
amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 as regards strengthening the CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and integrating reporting obligations, amending Regulation (EU) 2018/858 and repealing Regulation (EU) 2018/956
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Tackling climate and environment-related challenges and reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement (3), adopted on 12 December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), are at the core of the Commission’s communication of 11 December 2019 on the ‘European Green Deal’. The necessity and value of the European Green Deal have only grown in light of the very severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and economic well-being of the Union’s citizens and of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. |
(2) |
The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives which aim to achieve climate neutrality in the Union by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, that transition affects women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, such as low-income households and persons, older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. |
(3) |
Following the adoption by the European Parliament and the Council of essential elements of the ‘Fit for 55’ legislative package, as proposed by the Commission in July 2021, the Union submitted in October 2023 an updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) of the Union and its Member States to the UNFCCC, confirming that the Union will cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. |
(4) |
Through the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), the Union has enshrined in a Union legislative act the objective of economy-wide climate neutrality within the Union at the latest by 2050 and the aim of achieving negative emissions thereafter. Moreover, that Regulation establishes a binding Union domestic reduction target for net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) of at least 55 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030. It also sets the framework for the establishment of intermediate Union climate targets and for the publication of the projected indicative Union greenhouse gas budget for the 2030-2050 period. |
(5) |
All sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to achieving those emission reductions, including the road transport sector. In its communication of 9 December 2020 on ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy — putting European transport on track for the future’, the Commission sets out a roadmap for a sustainable and smart future for European transport, with an action plan towards the objective of delivering a 90 % reduction in emissions from the transport sector by 2050. Heavy-duty vehicles are currently responsible for more than a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in the Union and for over 6 % of the Union’s total greenhouse gas emissions. |
(6) |
The ‘Fit for 55’ legislative package aims to implement the 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target. It covers a range of policy areas. The revision of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) is an integral part of that legislative package. |
(7) |
In its communication of 18 May 2022 on the ‘REPowerEU Plan’, the Commission outlined a plan to make the Union independent from Russian fossil fuels well before the end of this decade. That communication highlights the importance, inter alia, of further increasing the efficiency of, and reducing, fossil fuel consumption in the transport sector, where electrification can be combined with the use of fossil-free hydrogen to replace fossil fuels. |
(8) |
In order to contribute to the reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030 and in conformity with the energy efficiency first principle, it is necessary to strengthen the CO2 emissions reduction requirements for heavy-duty vehicles set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further emission reductions beyond 2030 for the heavy-duty vehicles sector to contribute to achieving the climate-neutrality objective by 2050. |
(9) |
The strengthened CO2 emissions reduction requirements should incentivise an increasing share of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles being deployed on the Union market whilst providing benefits to users and citizens in terms of air quality and energy savings, as well as ensuring that innovation in the automotive value chain and the associated high-quality jobs can be maintained. Zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen-powered vehicles, and technological innovation continues. |
(10) |
New strengthened CO2 emissions reduction targets should be set for new heavy-duty vehicles from 2030 onwards. Those targets should be set at a level that will deliver a strong signal to accelerate the uptake of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles on the Union market, stimulate innovation in zero-emission technologies in a cost-efficient way, give the necessary signal to accelerate the deployment of charging and refuelling infrastructure across the Union, ensure the long-term competitiveness of the Union industry on a global market, and contribute to reducing the running costs for transport companies, while ensuring that the Union meets its climate objectives and its objective to alleviate air pollution. |
(11) |
Air pollution is a particularly acute problem in cities, affecting the health of millions of European citizens. Transport is one of the main sources of urban air pollution. The accelerated roll-out of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, through strengthened CO2 emissions reduction requirements, will contribute to alleviating the urban air pollution problem. |
(12) |
The Commission’s communication of 5 May 2021 on ‘Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery’ aims to achieve the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In that context, a transition pathway is being developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The transition pathway pays particular attention to small and medium-sized enterprises in the automotive supply chain, and to the consultation, including by Member States, of social partners. It also builds on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives such as the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions, and builds on the Talent Booster Mechanism in the framework of the Harnessing Talents in EU regions initiative. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the affordability of zero-emission vehicles are also being addressed in the transition pathway. That could, for example, include the possibility for Member States to use the Social Climate Fund established by Regulation (EU) 2023/955 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) (the ‘Social Climate Fund’) to assist micro-enterprises in purchasing zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles. Particular attention should be given to the impact that that transition will have on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) along the supply chain. The Commission’s communication of 1 February 2023 on ‘A Green Deal Industrial Plan for the Net-Zero Age’ aims to enhance the competitiveness of Europe’s net-zero industry and to support the fast transition to climate neutrality. That plan aims to provide a more supportive environment for the scaling up of the Union’s manufacturing capacity for the net-zero technologies and products required to meet the Union’s ambitious climate targets. Access to training and reskilling in numerous sectors that need to undergo fundamental changes, including the heavy-duty vehicles and the refuelling and recharging sectors, is crucial for a socially just and effective transition. Investments in the skills needed for an effective transition are a collective responsibility. Employees and jobseekers should have access to reskilling and upskilling opportunities, and their participation in those learning activities should be supported. Member States are encouraged to ramp up investments in reskilling and upskilling and to map out and analyse the predicted changes in the job market. |
(13) |
Together with initiatives to accelerate a modal shift towards more sustainable transport modes, the strengthening of the CO2 emissions reduction requirements for heavy-duty vehicles and rolling-out the necessary recharging and refuelling infrastructure will play a key role in reducing the CO2 emissions of the heavy-duty vehicles sector. The Union fleet-wide CO2 emissions reduction targets laid down in this Regulation are complemented by the recharging and refuelling infrastructure requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). Union funding plays an important role in the infrastructure rollout at national level. The deployment of recharging infrastructure for heavy-duty electric vehicles is equally important in private locations that are not accessible to the public, such as in private depots and at logistics centres which provide overnight and destination charging. Member States should consider taking measures in the context of setting up their revised national policy frameworks to ensure that appropriate infrastructure is provided for overnight and destination charging for heavy-duty electric vehicles. It is also appropriate to consider, in view of possible infrastructural constraints in third countries, the impact of this Regulation on the possibility for new heavy-duty vehicles registered in a Member State to operate outside the Union. |
(14) |
In 2015, following the adoption of Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), the Sustainable Transport Forum (the ‘Forum’) was set up by the Commission. The Forum assists the Commission in implementing the Union’s activities and programmes aimed at fostering the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels infrastructure. Following the adoption of this Regulation, the Commission will ensure that the Forum supports the effective and cost-efficient roll-out of the recharging and refuelling infrastructure needed to meet the strengthened CO2 emissions reduction requirements for heavy-duty vehicles, and that it informs the review referred to in Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, so that the targets set out in that Regulation are aligned with the ambition of this Regulation. |
(15) |
The transition to climate neutrality requires significant investment in the electricity grid, including enhanced capacity, resilience and storage, as well as additional connections. In view of the CO2 emissions reduction targets for heavy-duty vehicles for the year 2030 established under this Regulation, the share of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in the total fleet of heavy-duty vehicles on the roads and electricity consumption in the sector will remain limited. Therefore, the related impact on the electricity grid will remain limited as well. |
(16) |
While the strengthened CO2 emissions reduction targets will accelerate the uptake of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, a significant part of the total fleet of heavy-duty vehicles on the roads will remain internal combustion engine vehicles. For that part of the fleet to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s climate targets, further innovation and an accelerated uptake of sustainable renewable fuels is essential. Existing Union policies and legal instruments, in particular Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) and the EU emissions trading system established by Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (10), will promote the decarbonisation of transport fuels, with the aim of phasing out fossil fuels. The Commission should further develop a coherent framework of incentives for advanced biofuels and biogas and renewable fuels of non-biological origin. That framework should address barriers to the uptake and supply in a comprehensive way, taking into account demand across economic sectors, in the context of the overall efforts to reach the Union’s climate targets. Building on the objectives for biomethane in the RePowerEU plan, the Commission should also address how the scale-up of the production of biomethane in the Union can contribute to the decarbonisation of the economy, including the transport sector. |
(17) |
Following consultation with stakeholders, the Commission will, within one year of the date of entry into force of this Regulation, assess the role of a methodology for registering heavy-duty vehicles running exclusively on CO2 neutral fuels, in conformity with Union law and with the Union’s climate-neutrality objective. |
(18) |
Manufacturers should continue to be provided with sufficient flexibility when adapting their heavy-duty vehicle fleets over time in order to manage the transition towards zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in a cost-efficient manner. It is therefore appropriate to maintain the approach of strengthening target levels in five-year steps. |
(19) |
Due to the heterogeneous structure of the total fleet of heavy-duty vehicles, it is not possible to fully predict whether technological developments will be quick enough to ensure that zero-emission tailpipe technology is a viable choice for all niche uses. This could include heavy-duty vehicles for critical security and safety applications that cannot be fulfilled by zero-emission tailpipe technologies. Such vehicles should constitute a limited share of the total fleet of heavy-duty vehicles. In its review of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, the Commission should assess the possibility of applying measures to reduce CO2 emissions from such vehicles. |
(20) |
For their public procurement procedures covered by this Regulation, contracting authorities and contracting entities are strongly encouraged to use an award criterion or a technical specification that relates to the proportion of the products of tenders originating from countries that are not parties to the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (the ‘GPA’) and that have not concluded a free trade agreement containing rules on public procurement with the Union. Such criteria will play an important role in fostering the supply of zero-emission urban buses by the European industry, ensure sustainable and resilient supply chains for urban buses and reinforce security of supply within the Union. |
(21) |
Contracting authorities and contracting entities are encouraged to use an environmental sustainability criterion as an award criterion or as a technical specification for their public procurement procedures covered by this Regulation. Without prejudice to Union legislative acts applicable to a specific technology, including Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) and a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products, when evaluating the environmental sustainability of urban buses procured on the basis of this Regulation, it should be possible for contracting authorities and contracting entities to take into account various elements with an impact on the climate and the environment. Those elements can include, for instance: the durability and reliability of the solution, the ease of repair and maintenance, the ease and quality of recycling, the use of substances, the consumption of energy, water and other resources in one or more life cycle stages of the product, the incorporation of used components, the environmental footprint of the product and its life cycle environmental impact, and the amount of waste generated. |
(22) |
With the stricter Union fleet-wide CO2 emissions reduction targets from 2030 onwards, manufacturers are to deploy significantly more zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles on the Union market. In that context, the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission heavy-duty vehicles would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. That incentive mechanism should therefore be removed from 2030. |
(23) |
The possibility to assign the revenues from the excess CO2 emissions premiums to a specific fund or a relevant programme has been evaluated as required pursuant to Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, with the conclusion that doing so would significantly increase the administrative burden, without resulting in any direct benefit to the automotive sector in its transition. Revenues from the excess CO2 emissions premiums should therefore continue to be considered as revenue for the general budget of the European Union in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. |
(24) |
The subject matter of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should be enlarged to also cover the monitoring and reporting obligations which are integrated into Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 by means of this Regulation. |
(25) |
Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should be amended in order to cover the same scope as Regulation (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12). |
(26) |
The CO2 emissions for vehicles that are not within the scope of the vehicle type-approval legislation of the Union, such as agricultural and forestry tractors, vehicles designed and constructed for use by national defence, including armed services, and track-laying vehicles, are not determined. Therefore, those vehicles are not required to meet the CO2 emissions reduction targets set in this Regulation. |
(27) |
In order not to discourage the voluntary type-approval of heavy-duty vehicles that are designed and constructed or adapted for use by civil protection services, fire services and forces responsible for maintaining public order or urgent medical care services, which would have negative safety and environmental implications, such vehicles that are voluntarily type-approved should also be exempted from the obligation to meet the CO2 emissions reduction targets set in this Regulation, unless the manufacturer requests otherwise. Member States should also be entitled to exempt heavy-duty vehicles from the obligation to meet the CO2 emissions reduction targets set in this Regulation where those heavy-duty vehicles are not specifically designed, but are registered, for use by civil protection services, fire services, forces responsible for maintaining the public order or urgent medical care services, such as normal coaches used for the transport of police or armed services, by confirming that such exemption would be in the public interest. Member States should also be entitled to exempt vehicles registered for the armed services from this Regulation in its entirety. |
(28) |
As for certain heavy-duty vehicle sub-groups which are type-approved, but for which CO2 emissions reductions are not determined yet for technical reasons, those heavy-duty vehicles are not required to meet the CO2 emissions reduction targets set in this Regulation. Examples of such vehicles are special purpose vehicles, such as mobile cranes, carriers of hydraulic multi-equipment or exceptional load transport vehicles, off-road vehicles, such as certain heavy-duty vehicles used for mining, forestry and agricultural purposes, as well as other heavy-duty vehicles with non-standard axle configurations such as heavy-duty vehicles with more than four axles or more than two driven axles, small buses with a technically permissible maximum laden mass (TPMLM) of less than or equal to 7,5 tonnes, and small lorries with a TPMLM of less than or equal to 5 tonnes. The Commission should investigate the appropriateness of the determination of CO2 emissions of small lorries with a TPMLM of less than or equal to 5 tonnes in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 (13) (vehicle energy consumption calculation tool simulations or VECTO simulations), taking into account Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (14). |
(29) |
Certain definitions should be introduced in order to harmonise the terminology of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 with that of the vehicle type-approval legislation of the Union, in particular Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (15) and Regulation (EU) 2017/2400. |
(30) |
For the purposes of the transfer of heavy-duty vehicles between manufacturers, introduced by this Regulation, and of establishing an exemption for manufacturers producing few heavy-duty vehicles, a definition of the term ‘group of connected manufacturers’ should be added to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. That definition should, in substance, follow the terminology used in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council (16) for light-duty vehicles. |
(31) |
As regards laying down the obligations of individual manufacturers, Union fleet-wide CO2 emissions reduction targets for new heavy-duty vehicle fleets should be translated into specific CO2 emissions targets for vehicle sub-groups determined on the basis of the technical characteristics of the heavy-duty vehicles they comprise. |
(32) |
Since the CO2 emissions related to trailers have a strong impact on the overall CO2 emissions and energy consumption of heavy-duty motor vehicles, CO2 emissions reduction targets should also be set for trailers. |
(33) |
CO2 emissions from vocational vehicles, such as refuse collection vehicles, tippers or concrete mixers, are already certified under VECTO and are monitored and reported by vehicle manufacturers and Member States. CO2 emissions from vocational vehicles represent approximately 2 % of heavy-duty vehicles CO2 emissions and approximately 4 % of sales. As they operate mostly in cities, vocational vehicles also have an impact on urban air quality. Vocational vehicles should therefore be exempted until 2029 from the calculation of average specific CO2 emissions of manufacturers. For the period 2030 to 2034, only zero-emission vocational vehicles should be accounted for that calculation. From 2035, all vocational vehicles should be accounted for that calculation. |
(34) |
In order to facilitate the development, and enable the widespread use, of trailers equipped with CO2 emissions reduction technology, it is imperative to promptly update and expand the approval framework for such technology, in particular for electrified trailers, by amending Regulation (EU) 2018/858. |
(35) |
In 2022, zero-emission urban buses already represented around a quarter of all urban buses sold in the Union, with some Member States reaching much higher shares. Due to the technical readiness of urban buses and the need to improve urban air quality, a mandatory minimum share of new zero-emission urban buses should be set. |
(36) |
A mandatory minimum share of zero-emission urban buses should reflect the societal need for affordable public transport, including in rural areas. The increased supply of zero-emission urban buses that result from such a mandatory minimum share should have a positive effect on purchase cost, both in terms of upfront purchase price and the total cost of ownership of zero-emission urban buses, reflecting fossil fuel savings resulting from the operation of such urban buses. Joint procurement of urban buses, building on the Clean Bus Europe Platform, can bring down the purchase cost of such buses further, and the Social Climate Fund could be used by Member States to support vulnerable citizens with reduced or free public transport tickets or subscriptions. Finally, regional and long-distance buses and coaches, including for transport in rural areas, remain subject to the CO2 emissions reduction targets for heavy-duty vehicles. Support from the Social Climate Fund could address the specific needs of rural areas and prevent transport poverty, as defined in Article 2, point (2), of Regulation (EU) 2023/955, by securing access to affordable public transport. The Commission should also consider further appropriate measures to increase the demand for zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles by public authorities, to support the achievement of the Union’s climate-neutrality objective. |
(37) |
As commercial, rather than legal entities, should be considered for compliance, economically connected manufacturers should, within certain limits, be allowed to transfer heavy-duty vehicles between them for the purposes of accounting those heavy-duty vehicles under Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. |
(38) |
Furthermore, in order to strengthen the development of new zero-emission technologies in specialised small and medium-sized companies, it should also be possible to transfer zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles between non-connected entities. |
(39) |
Retrofitting zero-emission vehicles consists in converting an internal combustion engine or vehicle into a zero-emission one. It has environmental benefits, which result from avoiding the production of new parts and associated material use. It also has economic benefits, associated with enhanced vehicle affordability and job-creation potential. The market uptake of heavy-duty vehicles which are retrofitted to become zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles is however hampered by the lack of harmonised technical and administrative rules for their approval. The Commission should therefore consider the need for possible initiatives to promote the development of such harmonised rules. |
(40) |
Measures to increase the share of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles owned or leased by large fleet operators would help increase the sales of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles and accelerate the transition towards zero-emission road transport. The Commission should therefore analyse the potential need and impact of initiatives to increase the share of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles owned or leased by large fleet operators. |
(41) |
In order to avoid disproportionally high compliance costs and in order to reduce the administrative burden, manufacturers that produce few heavy-duty vehicles should, subject to fulfilling certain legal requirements, be exempt from the obligation to comply with CO2 emissions reduction targets. As they are still required to comply with the reporting obligations of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, there is an appropriate control mechanism for those manufacturers. |
(42) |
The existing system of multi-annual emission credits and emission debts should be extended to 2039, as CO2 emissions reduction targets continue to be strengthened beyond 2030 until 2040 and require forward-looking technical developments by manufacturers during that period. Nevertheless, manufacturers should clear all remaining emission debts in the years 2029, 2034 and 2039. Emission credits should automatically expire where they have not been used within 7 years of their acquisition. |
(43) |
Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should clearly stipulate, for each vehicle category, the identity of the manufacturer to which a heavy-duty vehicle should be attributed, thereby specifically taking account of the different constellations for heavy-duty vehicles of category M. |
(44) |
The rules on the verification of reported monitoring data should also cover the potential ex post correction of errors in such data and how the Commission should handle such corrections for implementing the Union fleet-wide CO2 emissions reduction targets. |
(45) |
The assessment of the reference CO2 emissions should be amended to also cover the vehicle sub-groups newly included in the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. |
(46) |
Monitoring and reporting by manufacturers and Member States is an essential precondition for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. Incorporating Regulation (EU) 2018/956 into Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should produce synergies and allow for interpretation of the provisions that takes into account the objectives of both Regulations. |
(47) |
When incorporating monitoring and reporting provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/956 into Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, the opportunity should be seized to slightly amend those provisions in light of the experience gained from the first two reporting cycles under Regulation (EU) 2018/956. |
(48) |
Taking account of the fact that the determination of CO2 emissions will no longer be carried out by manufacturers alone, the obligation to report CO2 emissions and other technical data of the heavy-duty vehicles should be extended beyond manufacturers to those entities which carry out that determination under Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1362 (17). The data to be reported should comprise the manufacturer’s records file. |
(49) |
The Commission should be allowed to take into account technical progress, the evolution of freight transport logistics, such as especially heavy vehicle combinations used in some Member States, necessary adjustments based on the application of this Regulation and amendments of the underlying type-approval legal acts, to ensure that the data requirements and the monitoring and reporting procedure remain relevant over time for assessing the heavy-duty vehicle fleet’s contribution to CO2 emissions reduction targets, to ensure the availability of data on new and advanced CO2 emissions reducing technologies and on the results of on-road verification tests, to ensure that the air drag value ranges remain relevant for information and comparability purposes, and to supplement the provisions on administrative fines. |
(50) |
For those reasons, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending the criteria which define vehicle sub-groups, including by adding sub-groups for extra heavy combination (EHC) lorries, and which define vocational vehicles, and the criteria for the operational ranges of different powertrain technologies, the list and weight of mission profiles, the payloads, passenger numbers, passenger masses, technically permissible maximum payloads, technically permissible maximum passenger number and cargo volumes of vehicle sub-groups and annual mileages values, amending the data requirements and the monitoring and reporting procedure laid down in the Annexes, in respect of specifying the data to be reported by the Member States for the monitoring of the results of on-road verification tests, of amending the air drag value ranges, and of defining the criteria, the calculation and the method of collection of administrative fines imposed on manufacturers. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. |
(51) |
In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in relation to the type-approval procedures and in relation to the common technical specifications, regarding the technical and open interoperability between the recharging and refuelling infrastructure and urban buses, in terms of physical connections and communication exchange. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (18). |
(52) |
Regulation (EU) 2018/956 should be repealed with transitional provisions allowing the reporting period that is ongoing at the moment of entry into force of this Regulation to be concluded under the rules applicable at the beginning of that reporting period, including all processing of the data collected. Accordingly, this Regulation should apply from the beginning of the following reporting period. |
(53) |
Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to promote CO2 emissions reductions in a cost-effective and economically efficient way in a manner commensurate with the economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030 through amended Union fleet-wide CO2 emissions reduction targets for heavy-duty vehicles, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. |
(54) |
Regulations (EU) 2018/858 and (EU) 2019/1242 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendments to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242
Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 is amended as follows:
(1) |
Article 1 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 1 Subject matter and objectives 1. This Regulation sets CO2 emissions performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles.

ANNEX II
‘ANNEX III
Normalisation of specific CO2 emissions of new heavy-duty vehicles as referred to in Article 4
1. Normalisation of specific CO2 emissions
For the purposes of the calculation in point 2.1 of Annex I, the values of CO2 emissions CO2v,mp of heavy-duty vehicles are normalised as follow:
CO2v,mp = reportCO2v,mp + ΔCO2v,mp(m) + ΔCO2cvv,mp
m = PLsg,mp – PLv,mp + cCWv |
(for heavy-duty vehicles of categories N and O) |
m = PMsg,mp – PMv,mp + cCWv |
(for heavy-duty vehicles of category M) |
The values of CO2 emissions CO2pv,mp of primary vehicles are normalised in accordance with the same methodology, using the parameters for primary vehicles.
Where,
CO2v,mp |
are the normalised CO2 emissions of the heavy-duty vehicle v determined for a mission profile mp that are to be considered in the calculation of point 2.1 of Annex I; |
reportCO2v,mp |
are the CO2 emissions in g/km of a new heavy-duty vehicle v determined for a mission profile mp and reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
ΔCO2v,mp(m) |
is to be determined in accordance with point 3; |
ΔCO2cvv,mp |
is to be determined in accordance with point 4; |
PLv,mp |
is the payload of the heavy-duty vehicle v in the mission profile mp, as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
PLsg,mp |
is the payload for the vehicle sub-group sg and mission profile mp as provided for in point 2.5 of Annex I; |
PMv,mp |
is the passenger mass of the heavy-duty vehicle v in the mission profile mp, as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
PMsg,mp |
is the passenger mass for the vehicle sub-group sg and mission profile mp as provided for in point 2.5 of Annex I; |
cCWv |
is the correction of the curb weight of the heavy-duty vehicle v applied in accordance with point 2. |
2. Curb Weight normalisation
Since the transport utility of a heavy-duty vehicle increases with its technically permissible maximum payload or passenger number, but for technical reasons higher values for those parameters are correlated with higher curb weights and therefore higher CO2 emissions, the following correction of the curb weight of a heavy-duty vehicle v in the vehicle sub-group sg for the purpose of the normalisation of its specific CO2 emissions in accordance with point 1 shall be applied:
cCWv = asg · (maxPLsg – maxPLv) |
for heavy-duty vehicles of category N; |
cCWv = 0 |
for heavy-duty vehicles of category O; |
cCWv = asg · (maxPNsg – maxPNv) |
for heavy-duty vehicles of category M; |
Where,
asg |
is a linear coefficient determined in accordance with point 2.1 for the reporting period of the year in which the heavy-duty vehicle v was registered; |
maxPLv |
is the technically permissible maximum payload of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
maxPNv |
is the technically permissible maximum passenger number of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
maxPLsg |
is the technically permissible maximum payload of the vehicle sub-group sg determined in accordance with point 2.5 of Annex I; |
maxPNsg |
is the technically permissible maximum passenger number of the vehicle sub-group sg determined in accordance with point 2.5 of Annex I. |
2.1. Determination of normalisation parameters
For each reporting period, the parameters asg and bsg shall be determined with a linear regression analysis of the correlation of the values of CWv with the values of maxPLv (heavy-duty vehicles of category N) and maxPNv (heavy-duty vehicles of category M), considering all newly registered heavy-duty vehicles v in the vehicle sub-group sg:
CWv ≈ asg maxPLv + bsg |
for heavy-duty vehicles of category N; |
CWv ≈ asg maxPNv + bsg |
for heavy-duty vehicles of category M. |
Where,
CWv |
is the curb weight of the heavy-duty vehicle v, as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; if no precise value is available, it may be approximated by the corrected actual mass of the heavy-duty vehicle v; |
maxPLv |
is the technically permissible maximum payload of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
maxPNv |
is the technically permissible maximum passenger number of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b. |
3. Change of CO2 emissions for change in total vehicle mass
The ex-post change of CO2 emissions of a heavy-duty vehicle v to be determined for a mission profile mp due to an ex-post change in the total mass to be attributed to the heavy-duty vehicle for the determination of CO2 emissions is defined by the following linear approximation:
ΔCO2v,mp(m) = m (CO2v,r – CO2v,l) / (Mr – Ml)
Where,
m |
is the change of total mass attributed to the heavy-duty vehicle v for the determination of its CO2 emissions; |
CO2v,r |
are the CO2 emissions of the heavy-duty vehicle v in g/km, without the change of mass, determined for the same mission profile mp, representative loading conditions; |
CO2v,l |
are the CO2 emissions of the heavy-duty vehicle v in g/km, without the change of mass, determined for the same mission profile mp, low loading conditions; |
Mr |
is the total vehicle mass in simulation, without the change of mass, for the same mission profile mp, representative loading conditions; |
Ml |
is the total vehicle mass in simulation, without the change of mass, for the same mission profile mp, low loading conditions. |
4. Normalisation for different cargo volumes
Heavy-duty vehicles of category O within the same vehicle sub-group have different cargo volumes. Since the transport utility of a heavy-duty vehicle increases with the cargo volume, but for technical reasons such increase is also correlated with higher CO2 emissions, the following correction of the CO2 emissions of a heavy-duty vehicle v in the vehicle sub-group sg shall be applied:
ΔCO2cvv,mp = asg,mp (CVsg – CVv)
Where,
asg,mp |
is a linear coefficient determined in accordance with point 4.1 for the reporting period of the year in which the heavy-duty vehicle v was registered; |
CVv |
is the cargo volume of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
CVsg |
is the cargo volume of the vehicle sub-group sg determined in accordance with point 2.5 of Annex I. |
For heavy-duty vehicles of categories N and M, the correction of CO2 emissions ΔCO2cvv,mp shall be 0.
4.1. Determination of normalisation parameters
For each reporting period and mission profile, the parameters asg,mp and bsg,mp shall be determined with a linear regression analysis of the correlation of the values of [reportCO2v,mp + ΔCO2v,mp(m)] with the values of CVv , considering all newly registered heavy-duty vehicles v in the vehicle sub-group sg:
reportCO2v,mp + ΔCO2v,mp(m) ≈ asg,mp · CVv + bsg,mp
Where,
CVv |
is the cargo volume of the heavy-duty vehicle v as determined from the data reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b; |
reportCO2v,mp, ΔCO2v,mp(m) |
are as defined in point 1. |
