Contents

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 Regulations (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC^note, and in particular Article 11(1), first subparagraph, points (a), (b), (d) and (f), thereof,Whereas:

(1)The average specific CO₂ emissions of a manufacturer should be determined on the basis of data reported by Member States and manufacturers pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 for vehicles of that manufacturer or transferred to that manufacturer.

(2)The zero- and low-emission factor for each manufacturer should be determined taking into account the zero- and low-emission heavy-duty vehicles reported.

(3)The CO₂ emission reduction trajectory and the emission credits per manufacturer should be determined on the basis of the number of new heavy-duty vehicles reported.

(4)In accordance with the formula in point 2.7.1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, applicable for the reporting period of the year 2024, the average specific CO₂ emissions of all new heavy-duty vehicles registered in the Union should be determined on the basis of the data reported by all manufacturers for vehicles falling in the vehicle sub-groups 4-UD, 4-RD, 4-LH, 5-RD, 5-LH, 9-RD, 9-LH, 10-RD and 10-LH.

(5)Following its amendment by Regulation (EU) 2024/1610 of the European Parliament and of the Council^note, the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, as set out in Article 2 thereof, has been enlarged. Accordingly, from the reporting period of the year 2024 onwards, the share of new heavy-duty vehicles in a vehicle sub-group, in accordance with point 2.4 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, is to be calculated based on the number of heavy-duty vehicles of a manufacturer falling within the enlarged scope. Therefore, the values of the average specific CO₂ emissions and of the CO₂ emission reduction trajectory of a manufacturer, as well as the value of the average specific CO₂ emissions of all new heavy-duty vehicles, set out in this Decision and its Annex, are no longer directly comparable to the values set out in the Decisions for the reporting periods of the previous years. The emission credits per manufacturer are unaffected by the change in the calculation of the heavy-duty vehicle sub-group shares and remain comparable.

(6)The values presented in this Decision and its Annex are based on the data available to the Commission on 2 July 2026,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
