Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
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 203, if no additional measures are taken, are expected to account for 30 % of the total road transport CO2 emissions by 2030, with emissions from heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) projected to increase by 10% between 2010-2030 and by 17% from 2010 to 2050. Effective measures to curb emissions from heavy-duty vehicles need to be introduced in order to contribute to the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector.

Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) The Commission should publish, no later than 30 June 2018, a calendar for the application of the Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool (“VECTO”) software to key technologies and innovations that reduce road freight emissions. The Commission should also update, without delay, the VECTO test procedure to include all heavy-duty vehicle categories, hybrid, electric and zero emission powertrains and trailers in order to ensure full coverage of heavy- duty vehicle range.
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The results of the conformity of production testing of VECTO input files should be monitored and reported to the Commission, and made publicly available.
Amendment 71 #
(10b) Fuel consumption information provided through fuel consumption meters should be gathered, anonymised and reported to the Commission to assess any gap between on-road test results and real world fuel consumption.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Based on the experience gained from the monitoring and reporting of data on CO2 emissions pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council16 for new passenger cars and Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council17 for new light commercial vehicles, it is appropriate to confer on the European Environment Agency the responsibility for the exchange of the data with the competent authorities of the Member States and manufacturers, as well as for the management of the final database, which should be accessible to transport operators and third parties free of charge and in a digitally researchable format, on behalf of the Commission. It is also appropriate to align as far as possible the monitoring and reporting procedures for heavy-duty vehicles with those already existing for light-duty vehicles. _________________ 16 Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of 23 April 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles, OJ L 140, 5.2.2009, p.1. 17 Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles, OJ L 145, 31.5.2011, p.1.

Recital 12 a (new)
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) According to expert analysis by, inter alia, the International Energy Agency, the improvement of the efficiency of road-freight transport is critical to reducing the growth in oil demand, carbon emissions and air pollution over the next decades. Studies have also identified significant potential to reduce fuel consumption by freight trucks from the current Union average. The Commission should come forward with proposals for ambitious CO2 targets for 2025 in respect of heavy-duty vehicles as soon as possible, in order to ensure that the sector contributes its fair share to Union climate commitments under the Paris Agreement.
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12 b (new)
Recital 12 b (new)
(12b) The Commission should develop, without delay, an on-road compliance test that is carried out on a mandatory basis by the OEMs and under the supervision of independent bodies, in order to supplement the simulated CO2 values of a complete heavy-duty vehicle. Third parties should be able to perform independent testing and have access to the necessary data. Results of such tests should be monitored and reported in accordance with this Regulation and made publicly available.
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. The competent authorities of the Member States shall also gather fuel consumption information provided through fuel consumption meters and report it to the Commission in an anonymised form for an assessment of a possible gap between on-road test results and real world fuel consumption.
Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 – paragraph 1
Article 6 – paragraph 1
1. The Commission shall keep a central register for the data reported in accordance with Articles 4 and 5. The register shall be publicly available with the exception of data entries 1, 24, 25, 32, 33, 39 and 40 specified in Part B of Annex I.
Amendment 134 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 – paragraph 2
Article 8 – paragraph 2
2. The analysis shall indicate, as a minimum, the performance of the heavy- duty vehicle fleet of the Union as well as that of each manufacturer in terms of the average fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The Commission shall report on an annual basis on any gap between on-road test results and real world fuel consumption based on Member States reports under Article 4(1a) new on information that has been provided through fuel consumption meters and shall make that report publicly available. It shall also, where available, take into account data on the uptake of new and advanced CO2 reducing technologies. Or. en (Linked to an amendment to Article 4 (1a) new)
