Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) In recognition of the very high research and development and unit production costs of early generations of very low carbon vehicle technologies to be introduced into the marketplace following its entry into force, on an interim basis, this Regulation also incorporates specific provisions aimed at accelerating the introduction to the European Market of ultra low carbon vehicles at their initial stages of commercialisation.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Special purpose vehicles to which specific requirements apply for the purposes of type-approval, includingor vehicles built specifically for commercial purposes to accommodate wheelchair use inside the vehicle in accordance with Community policy to help disabled persons, should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29 a (new)
Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) The existing European type approval system does not cover all technical options available for achieving CO2 improvements. Thus, it is necessary to define an assessment process establishing provisions for assessing the CO2 reduction potentials attributed to introduction of technology measures ("eco-innovations"). Those technologies are not reflected, or not sufficiently reflected, when measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. Approvals for eco-innovations should be granted as a means to provide additional incentives to manufacturers by counting those benefits towards the achievement of their specific CO2 reduction targets.

Article 7 – paragraph 1
1. In respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer's average specific emissions of CO2, adjusted for CO2 emission reductions delivered by eco-innovations and balanced over two consecutive years, exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager.
