Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) To achieve these objectives, the right balance between economic efficiency, environmental sustainability, protection of road infrastructure and road safety aspects should be struck. In order to ensure legal certainty and consistency, this Directive should be aligned with the Regulation on CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles and the Combined Transport Directive.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The artificial barriers to the cross- border transport of heavier lorries primarily used in long distance transport (such as vehicle combinations with 5 and 6 axles), should be removed in a harmonised way to take advantage in the short term of the operational, energy and environmental efficiency linked to the greater loading capacity granted by the Member States, including for intermodal transport. To effectively drive the transition towards zero-emission mobility, it is necessary to phase out the use of such heavier lorries running on fossil fuels, as of 2035, whenfurther encourage the market penetration of more efficient zero-emission HDVs is projected to increase significantly up to around 50% of new HDV registrations. After the phasing out, heavier lorries should continue to be allowed in national traffic while, in international traffic, they should comply with the maximum authorised weights set up in Annex I to Directive 96/53/EC, which limits the extra weight allowance to zero-emission vehicles and to vehicles involved in an intermodal transport operation. Non-zero emission vehicle combinations with 5 and 6 axles should continue to be allowed in international traffic, with the same extra weight allowance as zero- emission vehicles as long as the targets set in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 allow the first registration of such vehicles or combinations and the state of enabling conditions is satisfactory.
