THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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 Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC [^ntr1-L_202501045EN.000101-E0001], and in particular Article 14(1) points (a), (e), (f) and (g), thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) If employed under appropriate operational and regional conditions, extra-heavy combination lorries (‘EHC lorries’) defined in Article 3(25) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, may show lower CO2 emissions per mileage travelled and payload transported, expressed in lower values of gCO2/t•km, than other vehicle combinations.
- (2) Such lower values of gCO2/t•km should be reflected in the calculation of compliance with the CO2 emissions targets provided for in Article 3a(1) points (b), (c) and (d) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 by adding separate vehicle sub-groups for EHC lorries.
- (3) Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
