Emissions of air pollutants from transport that harm our health need to be drastically reduced without delay. Emissions from conventional combustion engines will need to further reduce after 2020. Zero- and low emission vehicles will need to be deployed and gain significant market share by 2030. __________________ 16 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions A European Strategy for Low-Emission Mobility (COM(2016) 501 final).

(6) The European Council Conclusions of October 2014 endorsed a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of 30% by 2030 compared to 2005 for the sectors that are not part of the European Union emissions trading system. Road transport provides a major contribution to the emissions of those sectors, and its emissions remain significantly above 1990 levels. If the road transport emissions increase further, it willemissions remain significantly above 1990 levels, offsetting reductions made by other sectors to combat climate change.

(13) Reduction levels for the Union- wide fleets of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles should therefore be set for 2025 and for 2030, taking into account the vehicle fleet renewal time and the need for the road transport sector to contribute to the 2030Union climate and energy targets for 2030 and beyond. This stepwise approach also provides a clear and early signal for the automotive industry not to delay the market introduction of energy efficient technologies and zero- and low- emission vehicles.

(13a) Taking into account fleet renewal rates and average lifetime of vehicles sold on the EU market of 15 years, all new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles sold after 2035 need to be zero emission vehicles, to allow for a decarbonisation of the sector in line with the Paris agreement commitments.

(14) While the Union is among the world's major producers of motor vehicles and demonstrates technological leadership in this sector, competition is increasing and the global automotive sector is changing rapidly through new innovations in electrified powertrains, and cooperative, connected and automated mobility. In order to retain its global competitiveness and access to markets, the Union needs a regulatory framework, including a particular incentivetarget in the area of zero- and low-emission vehicles, which creates a large home market and supports technological development and innovation.

(15) A dedicated incentive mechanismbinding minimum share of zero- emission vehicles in the EU vehicle fleet should be introduced to facilitate a smooth transition towards zero-emission mobility. This crediting mechanismminimum share should be designed so as to ensure investment certainty for charging infrastructure in order to promote the deployment on the Union market of zero- and low- emission vehicles.

(16) Setting a benchmark for the share of zero- and low-emission vehicles in the EU fleet together with a well-designed mechanism for adjusting a manufacturer's specific CO2 target based on thetechnology-neutral standard with a binding minimum share of zero- and low-emission vehicles in the manufacturer's ownEU vehicle fleet should provide a strong and credible signal for the development and deployment of such vehicles while still allowing for the further improvement of the efficiency of the conventional internal combustion engines.

(19) In order to maintain the diversity of the market for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and its ability to cater for different consumer neallow for the environmental and other benefits of down-sizing and lightweighting of vehicles to be captureds, CO2 targets should be defined according to the utility of the vehicles on a linear basis. Maintaining mass as the utility parameter is considered coherent with tand taking into account that due to efficiency technology such as hybridization heavier vehicles need not produce higher exmisting regime. In order to better reflect the mass of vehicles used on the road, the parameter should be changed from mass in running order to the vehicle's test mass as specified in Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 of 1 June 2017 with effect from 2025sions, and to avoid unduly rewarding such heavy vehicles, CO2 targets should not be differentiated by vehicle mass.

(21) In order to distribute the emission reduction effort in a competitively neutral and fair way that reflects the diversity of the market for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and in view of the change in 2021 to WLTP-based specific emission targets, it is appropriate to determine the slope of the limit value curve on the basis of the specific emissions of all newly registered vehicles in that year, and to take into account the change in the EU fleet-wide targets between 2021, 2025 and 2030 with a view to ensuring an equal reduction effort of all manufacturers. With regard to light commercial vehicles, the same approach as that for car manufacturers should apply to manufacturers of lighter, car derived, vans, while for manufacturers of vehicles falling within the heavier segments, a higher and fixed slope should be set for the whole target perioan equal reduction effort of all manufacturers should be ensured.

(23) A balance should however be ensured between incentives given to eco- innovations and those technologies for which the emission reduction effect is demonstrated on the official test procedure. As a consequence, it is appropriate to maintain a cap on the eco-innovation savings that a manufacturer may take into account for target compliance purposes. The Commission should have the possibility to review the level of the cap and adjust it downwards, in particular, to take into account the effects of the change in the official test procedure. It is also appropriate to clarify how the savings should be calculated for target compliance purposes.

(41) The effectiveness of the targets set out in this Regulation in reducing CO2 emissions in reality is strongly dependent on the representativeness of the official test procedure. In accordance with the Opinion of the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM)23 and the recommendation of the European Parliament, following its inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector24 , a mechanism should be put in place to assess the real world representativeness of vehicle CO2 emissions and energy consumption values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. The Commission should determine the representativeness of the test results in 2021 by using data from fuel consumption meters and take appropriate measures if the representativeness decreases in the following years. The Commission should have the powers to ensure the public availability of such data, and, where necessary, develop the procedures needed for identifying and collecting the data required for performing such assessments. __________________ 23 High Level Group of Scientific Advisors, Scientific Opinion 1/2016 "Closing the gap between light-duty vehicle real-world CO2 emissions and laboratory testing" 24 European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (2016/2908(RSP))

It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making26 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts should systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. __________________ 26 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
