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/ECnote, 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 1Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242#
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2Entry into force#
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(1)point 1.1.1 is replaced by the following:
1.1.1.For heavy-duty vehicles of category N, the vehicle sub-group sg is defined as follows:Vehicle group pursuant to Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 | Cab type | Engine power | Operational range (OR) | Vehicle sub-group (sg) attributed for the purposes of this RegulationVehicles other than vocational vehicles | Vocational vehicles53 and zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in 51 | All | 53 | 53v54 and zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in 52 | All | 54 | —1s | All | 1s | 1sv1 | All | 1 | 1v2 | All | 2 | 2v3 | All | 3 | 3v4 | All | < 170 kW | All | 4-UD | 4vDay cab | ≥ 170 kW | All | 4-RDSleeper cab | ≥ 170 kW and < 265 kWSleeper cab | ≥ 265 kW | < 350 kmSleeper cab | ≥ 265 kW | ≥ 350 km | 4-LH5 | Day cab | All | All | 5-RD | 5vSleeper cab | < 265 kWSleeper cab | ≥ 265 kW | < 350 kmSleeper cab | ≥ 265 kW | ≥ 350 km | 5-LH9 | Day cab | All | All | 9-RD | 9vSleeper cab | All | < 350 kmSleeper cab | All | ≥ 350 km | 9-LH10 | Day cab | All | All | 10-RD | 10vSleeper cab | All | < 350 kmSleeper cab | All | ≥ 350 km | 10-LH11 | All, excluding EHC lorries | 11 | 11vAll, EHC lorries only | 11-EHC12 | All, excluding EHC lorries | 12 | 12v| All, EHC lorries only. | 12-EHC16 | All, excluding EHC lorries | 16 | 16v| All, EHC lorries only | 16-EHC
‘‘Sleeper cab’’ means a type of cab that has a compartment behind the driver’s seat intended to be used for sleeping as reported pursuant to Articles 13a and 13b.‘‘Day cab’’ means a type of cab that is not a sleeper cab.Where a new heavy-duty vehicle is attributed to vehicle sub-group 4-UD, but data on the CO2 emissions in g/km are not available for the UDL or UDR mission profiles as defined in point 1.4, the new heavy-duty vehicle shall be attributed to vehicle sub-group 4-RD.‘‘Operational range’’ means the distance a heavy-duty vehicle can travel under long haul transport conditions without being re-charged or re-filled, as provided for in point 1.3.Where, for a heavy-duty vehicle falling in group 11, 12 or 16, the information regarding TPMLM referred to in Article 3(25), point (c), is not available, that vehicle shall be attributed to vehicle sub-groups 11-EHC, 12-EHC and 16-EHC on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 3(25), points (a) and (b) only.’;
