Recital 1
(1) The internal market is an area in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. To that end Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council43 introduced a comprehensive type-approval and market surveillance system for motor vehicles, trailers, and for systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles and tyres for all vehicles. _________________ 43 Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC (OJ L 151, 14.6.2018, p. 1).

Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) A successful transition to zero- emission mobility requires an integrated approach and the right enabling environment to stimulate innovation and maintain the Union's technological leadership in this sector. That includes public and private investments in research and innovation, the increasing supply of zero- and low-emission vehicles, the roll- out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure, integration into the energy systems, as well as the sustainable materials supply and sustainable production, re-use and recycling of batteries in Europe. That requires coherent action at Union, national, regional and local levels.

Recital 2 b (new)
(2b) In order to support the transition towards clean mobility while reindustrialising Europe and supporting citizens, it is essential to keep the prices of private and commercial vehicles affordable for citizens and businesses. This will help maintain quality of life, industrial competitiveness and innovation, support job creation and skill development in the sector.

Recital 14
(14) Vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and especially battery electric vehicles, contribute to the decarbonisation of the road transport sector. In order to gain and increase consumer trust in such vehicles, they should be performant and durable . It is therefore important to require that traction batteries retain a good part of their initial capacity after many years of use. That is of particular importance to buyers of second hand electric vehicles to ensure that the vehicle will continue to perform as expected. Monitors of the battery state-of- health should therefore be required for all vehicles that use traction batteries. In addition minimum performance requirements for battery durability of passenger cars should be introduced, taking into account the UN Global Technical Regulation 2247 and technological development. It is imperative that battery durability is complemented by a robust charging infrastructure, competitive pricing, extended warranties, and continuous innovation to enhance their range, efficiency, and integration with renewable energy sources. This will not only foster consumer adoption but also promote a more rapid and sustainable transition to a decarbonised transport. _________________ 47 United Nations Global Technical Regulation on In-vehicle Battery Durability for Electrified Vehicles, UN GTR 22

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The OBD system currently in use, however, does not detect accurately or timely the malfunctions and neither does it sufficiently and timely forcurge repairs. As a result, it is possible that vehicles emit much more than they are allowed to do. The sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles on a continuous basis via an on-board monitoring (OBM) system. The OBM will also warn the user to perform repairs of the engine or the pollution control systems when these are needed. It is therefore appropriate to require that such a system is installed and to regulate its technical requirements.

Recital 17
(17) Manufacturers may opt to produce vehicles which comply with lower emission limits or with better battery durability than what is required in this Regulation, or which include advanced options including geofencing and adaptive controls. Consumers and national authorities should be able to identify such vehicles through appropriate documentation. An up-to-date environmental vehicle passport (EVP) should therefore be made available for consumers to receive up to date information throughout the lifetime of the vehicle such as fuel consumption, state of health of batteries, emission limits, periodic technical inspections results and roadworthiness data and other relevant information.
