Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Greenhouse gas emissions from lorries, buses and coaches, i.e. heavy-duty vehicles, currently represent around a quarter of road transport emissions in the Union and are expected to increase further by 2030. Effective measures to curb emissions from heavy-duty vehicles need to be introduced, both before the type- approval stage and after placement on the market, in order to contribute to the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector.

Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) In its 2017 Mobility Package ‘Europe on the move’, the Commission envisaged a proposal for heavy-duty vehicle standards in the first half of 2018. Timely publishing of this proposal is crucial to agree the new standards as soon as possible and if possible before the end of the mandate.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Information on a vehicle’s performance in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption should be made publicly available to enable all vehicle operators to take well-informed purchasing decisions. All vehicle manufacturers will be able to compare their vehicles’ performance with those of other makes. This will increase the incentives for innovation and therefore increase competitiveness. That information will also provide policy makers at Union and Member State level with a sound basis for developing policies to promote the uptake of more energy-efficient vehicles. Making necessary information publicly available or available to third parties upon request will allow stakeholders to perform independent verification testing and conduct market research and comparison. This will increase the reliability of the VECTO tool and spur innovation and competitiveness. It is therefore appropriate that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption values determined for each new heavy-duty vehicle pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) […/…]15 [Opoce to include correct reference] are monitored, reported to the Commission and made available to the public. __________________ 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (OJ L…,..,..).

(7) Information on a vehicle’s performance in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption should be made publicly available to enable all vehicle operators to take well-informed purchasing decisions, and to enable third parties, including citizens and NGOs, to monitor the real efforts made to limit greenhouse gas emissions. All vehicle manufacturers will be able to compare their vehicles’ performance with those of other makes. This will increase the incentives for innovation and therefore increase competitiveness, and this will help tackling climate change. That information will also provide policy makers at Union and Member State level with a sound basis for developing policies to promote the uptake of more energy-efficient vehicles. It is therefore appropriate that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption values determined for each new heavy-duty vehicle pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) […/…]15 [Opoce to include correct reference] are monitored, reported to the Commission and made available to the public. __________________ 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (OJ L…,..,..).

Recital 8
(8) In order to acquire a complete knowledge on the configuration of the heavy-duty vehicle fleet in the Union, its development over time and potential impact on CO2 emissions, it is appropriate to monitor and report, report and make publicly available or accessible when needed to third parties data on the registration of all new heavy-duty vehicles and all new trailers, including data on the efficiency of power trains and engine as well as the most relevant bodywork and components.

(8) In order to acquire a complete knowledge on the configuration of the heavy-duty vehicle fleet in the Union, its development over time and potential impact on CO2 emissions, it is appropriate to monitor and report data on the registration of all new heavy-duty vehicles and all new trailers, including data on the powertrains as well as the relevant bodywork. Real Driving Emissions measurements should complete this knowledge.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Technical data essential for determining the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption performance of a vehicle should be publicly available to increase the transparency of the vehicle specifications and the related performance, and to foster competition among manufacturers. Only data that are sensitive on the grounds of personal data protection and fair competition should not be published. However, it is clearly in the public interest that technical data essential for determining and evaluating the performance of vehicles is available. Such data should therefore not be exempt from public access.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) It is important to ensure that the data monitored and reported is robust and reliable. The Commission should therefore have the means to verify and, where necessary, correct the final data. Several technologies are already robust enough to check compliance, especially PEMS testing and remote sensing, both at individual vehicle and global fleet levels. Parameters allowing the data to be adequately traced and verified should therefore also be provided for in the monitoring requirements.
