Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Points out that even the new WLTP test cycle will have a 20% gap with real world and will remain open to test optimisation and manipulation; therefore urges the Commission to introduce a complementary on-road test (similar to RDE for air pollutants) to deter lab optimisation which allows 110% not-to- exceed value of the WLTP measured results; calls on this RDE value to be used for vehicle labelling to provide accurate consumer information;

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. UrgesNotes that HDVs will be responsible for 40% of total road transport CO2 emissions if no additional measures are taken by 2030; urges therefore the Commission to come up with a proposal on the certification, monitoring and reporting of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) by the end of 2017 and ambitious 2025 CO2 targets by the beginning of 2018;

Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Underlines that emission reduction and air quality targets require actions that will concern also older vehicles and reminds in this regard, that retrofitting is the fastest and the most cost-effective way to reduce emissions and pollutants from older fleet as systematic implementation of advanced diesel exhaust after treatment systems allows older heavy-duty vehicles, such as buses and trucks to operate in an environmentally friendly manner, meeting even the strictest emission requirements and achieving maximum reduction in NOx, NO2 and PM reductions; calls therefore on the Commission to come up with common EU guidelines in order to encourage the Member States to fully deploy the possibilities of retrofitting solutions and also ensure the eligibility for funding in context of EU financial instruments aiming to decarbonisation of transport system;
