(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council46 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council47 already set CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles as well as for certain heavy-duty vehicles. The revision of those instruments should be aligned with the revision of the current Regulation in order to ensure a coherent framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels in road transport and in order to accelerate the uptake in particular of zero-emission vehicles and thereby create demand for recharging and refuelling infrastructure. _________________ 46 Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13). 47 Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and amending Regulations (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC (OJ L 198, 25.7.2019, p. 202).

(4) The initiatives on ReFuelEU aviation48 and FuelEU maritime49 should boost the production and uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in aviation and maritime transport. While the fuel use requirements for the sustainable aviation fuels can largely rely on the existing refuelling infrastructure, investments are needed for the electricity supply of stationary aircraft. Moreover, Member State should assess the current state and future development of the hydrogen market for aviation and should provide for a feasibility study on the deployment of the relevant infrastructure to power aircrafts including, where appropriate, a deployment plan for alternative fuels infrastructure in airports, in particular for hydrogen and electric recharging for aircrafts. The FuelEU maritime initiative sets requirements in particular for the use of on shore power that can only be fulfilled if an adequate level of on shore power supply is deployed in TEN-T ports. However those initiatives do not contain any provisions on the required fuel infrastructure which are a prerequisite that the targets can be met. Furthermore, the Energy Taxation Directive1a recast should incentivise the use of on shore power. Therefore, alignment between this Directive and the current Regulation is necessary in order to ensure a coherent framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels. _________________ 1a COM(2021) 563 48 COM(2021) 561. 49 COM(2021) 562.

(5) Therefore all modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account a variety of alternative fuels. The use of zero-emission powertrain technologies is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport. In particular, in the road sector, a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is taking place, therefore more ambitious targets for these mature technologies are required. Hydrogen fuel- cell road vehicles are available to markets, as well. In addition, smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels, solar-electric cars, and hydrogen fuel-cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations, with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. In contrast, the aviation and waterborne sectors continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels, as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later, with full commercialisation taking its time. Therefore, the principle of technological neutrality should be respected in these sectors in order to boost the uptake of new and developing technologies. The use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the Union, requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane, advanced biofuels or renewable and low- carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels as soon as possible, ensuring further decarbonisation of heavy duty transport in the short term.

(7) LNG is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport, where there is currently no economically viable zero- emission powertrain technology available. The Communication on the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. Fleet conversion should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. Therefore, all readily deployable options in reducing maritime emissions, including alternatives to heavy fuel oil such as (bio- and synthetic) LNG, should be used in parallel to finding and financing long-term zero-emission alternatives. Contrary to maritime transport, for inland waterways, with normally smaller vessels and shorter distances, zero-emission powertrain technologies, such as hydrogen and electricity, should enter the markets more quickly. LNG is expected to no longer play a significant role in that sector and could play an important role for maritime transport in terms of creating scale regarding zero-emission propulsion solutions. Transport fuels such as LNG neeshould increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e- gas) for instance. Those decarbonised fuels can be used in the same infrastructure as gaseous fossil fuels thereby allowing for a gradual shift towards decarbonised fuels.

(8) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, LNG trucks are fully mature. On the one hand, the common scenarios underpinning the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the Climate Target Plan as well as the revised “Fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of gaseous fuels that will increasingly be decarbonised in heavy-duty road transport especially in the long haul segment. Furthermore, LPG and CNG vehicles for which already a sufficient growing infrastructure network exists across the Union are expected to gradually be replaced by zero emission drivetrains and therefore only a limited targeted policy for LNG infrastructure deployment that can equally supply decarbonised fuels is considered necessary to close remaining gaps in the main networks. Furthermore, currently bio-LNG and bio-CNG provide cost- competitive solutions, which contributes to decarbonising the existing fleet and decreases CO2 emissions from heavy-duty road transport vehicles in the short term. Therefore, the accompanying infrastructure should be further deployed.

(9) The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the Union and across regions. Continued uneven distribution would jeopardize the uptake of such vehicles, limiting connectivity across the Union. Continuing divergence in policy ambitions and approaches at national level will not create the long-term certainty needed for substantive market investment. Mandatory minimum targets for Member States at national level should therefore provide policy orientations and complement National Policy Frameworks. That approach should combine national fleet based targets with distance-based targets for the trans-European network for transport (TEN-T). National fleet based targets should ensure that vehicle uptake in each Member State is matched with the deployment of sufficient publicly accessible recharging infrastructure, while allowing for the market to self regulate once a certain share of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid light-duty vehicles has been reached. Distance-based targets for the TEN-T network should ensure full coverage of electric recharging points along the Union’s main road networks and thereby ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the Union.
Amendment 190 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) National fleet based targets should be established on the basis of the total number of registered electric vehicles in that Member State following a common methodology that accounts for technological developments such as the increased driving range of electric vehicles or the increasing market penetration of fast-charging points which can recharge a greater number of vehicles per recharging point than at a normal recharging point. The methodology also has to take into account the different recharging patterns of battery electric and, plug-in hybrid vehicles and solar-electric cars. A methodology that norms national fleet based targets on the total maximum power output of the publicly accessible recharging infrastructure should allow flexibility for the implementation of different recharging technologies in Member States.

(10a) The rail sector today is partly dependent on fossil fuels despite an already favourable carbon balance, owing to the non-electrification of part of the network and the diesel trains running there. 54% of the European network, some 107 000 kilometres, was electrified in 2019. In addition, 6 000 diesel trains are currently in operation. Where electrification of a segment is not possible for reasons of cost-efficiency of the service, battery and hydrogen trains offer promising alternatives. The development of these technologies requires the deployment of suitable recharging infrastructure.
Amendment 192 #

Recital 11
(11) Implementation in Member States should ensure that a sufficient number of publicly accessible recharging points is installed, in particular at public transport stations, such as port passenger terminals, airports or railway stations. A sufficient number of publicly accessible fast recharging points dedicated to light-duty vehicles should also be deployed to increase consumer convenience in particular across the TEN-T network to ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow electric vehicles to circulate throughout the Union. The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure should primarily be the result of private market investment; however, in compliance with State aid rules, Member States should support the deployment of the necessary infrastructure in cases where market conditions require public support until a fully competitive market is established.

(21 a) Bidirectional charging at both private and publicly accessible infrastructure could encourage people to purchase electric vehicles, as they can then be used for mobility as well as energy storage. Therefore, legislative hurdles such as double taxation should be prevented in order to further develop the business case of bidirectional charging and a sufficient number of private and publicly accessible charging stations should be made available for smart, bidirectional charging.

(22a) Recharging and refuelling infrastructure captures multiple data and is likely to be exposed to cybersecurity threats, with potential consequences for users, infrastructure or even the whole network to which they are connected. In a context of increasing electrification of transport infrastructure, it is up to operators or owners of recharging and refuelling points to ensure their safety as effectively as possible.

(24) Price transparency is crucial to ensure seamless and easy recharging and refuelling. Users of alternative fuel vehicles should be given accurate price information before the start of the recharging or refuelling service. The price should be communicated in a clearly structured manner to allow end users to identify the differentapplicable cost components and anticipate the total cost.

(30) Users of alternative fuel vehicles should be able to pay easily and conveniently at all publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points, without the need to enter into a contract with the operator of the recharging or refuelling point or a mobility service provider. Therefore, for recharging or refuelling on an ad hoc basis, all publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points should accept payment instruments that are widely used in the Union, and in particular electronic payments through terminals and devices used for payment services, at least via payment cards. That ad hoc payment method should always be available to consumers, even when contract-based payments are offered at the recharging or refuelling point.

(32) Shore-side electricity facilities can serve maritime and inland waterway transport as clean power supply and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of seagoing ships and inland waterway vessels. Under the FuelEU maritime initiative, ship operators of container and passenger ships need to comply with provisions to reduce emissions at berth. Mandatory deployment targets should ensure that the sector finds sufficient shore-side electricity supply in TEN-T core and comprehensive maritime ports to comply with those requirements. The application of these targets to all TEN- T maritime ports should ensure the level playing field between ports. Given the high costs and complexity related to the roll-out of shore-side electricity in maritime ports, it is essential to prioritise investments particularly where it makes the most sense in terms of geographic location and emissions reduction.
Amendment 305 #

Recital 33
(33) Container ships and passenger ships, being the ship categories which are producing the highest amount of emissions per ship at berth, should as a priority be provided with shore-side electricity supply. In order to take into account power demand characteristics while at berth of different passenger ships, as well as port operational characteristics, it is necessary to distinguish between the passenger ship requirements for ro-ro passenger ships and high speed passenger vessels, and those for other passenger ships. In this roll out process, all relevant public and private actors need to be involved, including but not limited to port authorities, terminal operators, grid operators, OPS operators, shipowners, other relevant maritime market players, and local or regional and national authorities.
Amendment 313 #

(34) These targets should take into account the types of vessels served and their respective traffic volumes. Maritime ports with low traffic volumes of certain ship categories, should be exempted from the mandatory requirements for the corresponding ship categories based on a minimum level of traffic volume, so as to avoid underused capacity being installed. Similarly, the mandatory targets should not aim to target maximum demand, but a sufficiently high volume, in order to avoid underused capacity and to take account of port operational characteristics. Maritime transport is an important link for the cohesion and economic development of islands in the Union. E as well as the outermost regions. Their energy production capacity in these islands may not always be sufficient to account for the power demand required to support the provision of shore- side electricity supply. In such a case islandthese territories should be exempted from this requirement unless and until such an electrical connection with the mainland has been completed or there is a sufficient locally generated capacity from clean energy sources.

(35) A core network of refuelling points for LNG at maritime ports should be available by 2025. Refuelling points for LNG include LNG terminals, tanks, mobile containers, bunker vessels and barges. An extra effort should be made to increase the share of bio-LNG stations and bunkering facilities across Europe.

(36) Electricity supply to stationary aircraft at airports should replace the consumption of liquid fuel with a cleaner power source by aircraft (use of Auxiliary Power Unit) or ground power units (GPUs). Aditionally, in order for commercial passenger aircraft to completely turn off their engines while parked, pre-conditioned air (PCA) systems should be taken into account. This should reduce pollutant and noise emissions, improve air quality and reduce the impact on climate change. Therefore, all commercial transport operation should be able to make use of external electricity supply and pre-conditioned air systems while parked at gates or at outfield positions at TEN-T airports.

(41a) While the introduction of mandatory targets for Member States is motivated by the need to encourage the creation of an interoperable network of recharging and refuelling infrastructure ensuring a fair geographical distribution and covering the entire territory of the EU, the development of a recharging and refuelling infrastructure market should mainly result from private investment. National regulatory and financial incentives are intended to have a knock- on effect and stimulate the supply of infrastructure in cases where market conditions require public support, especially in sparsely populated areas or areas with low traffic density and in the islands and outermost regions. However, investment decisions by private actors remain motivated by the existence of tangible prospects of profitability, supported by sufficient demand to fuel a competitive market, as well as by clear decarbonisation pathways.

(53) Alternative fuels infrastructure is a fast developing area. The lack of common technical specification constitutes a barrier for the creation of a single market of alternative fuels infrastructure. Therefore, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to norm technical specifications for areas where common technical specifications are outstanding but necessary. In particular, this should include the communication between the electric vehicle and the recharging point, the communication between the recharging point and the recharging software management system (back-end); the communication related to the electric vehicle roaming service and the communication with the electricity grid, while ensuring the needed consumer data protection. It is also necessary to define the suitable governance framework and roles of the different actors involved in the vehicle-to- grid communication ecosystem. Moreover, emerging technological developments, such as electric road systems (‘ERS’) have to be accounted for. As concerns data provision, it is necessary to provide for additional data types and technical specifications related to the format, the frequency and the quality in which these data should be made available and accessible.

(54) The market for alternative fuels and in particular for zero emission fuels is still in the early stages of development and technology is evolving fast. This should likely affect the demand for alternative fuels and consequently for alternative fuels infrastructure across the modes. The Commission should therefore, based on an analysis of the latest technological developments and market readiness and taking into consideration the national policy frameworks, review this Regulation by the end of 2026 in particular as regards the targets setting for electric recharging points for HDV as well as targets for infrastructure for alternative fuels for zero- emission vessels and aircraft in waterborne transport and aviation, in order to ensure legal certainty and predictability for the industry.
