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^note, and in particular Article 14(2), points (a) and (b), and Article 14(3), points (a) and (b), thereof,Whereas:

(1)Pursuant to Article 13a and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, Member States are to report certain data for all new heavy-duty vehicles which fall within the scope of that Regulation.

(2)To improve the unequivocal identification of manufacturers of completed vehicles of category M, the name and the world manufacturer identifier (WMI) of such manufacturers should be reported by Member States.

(3)Pursuant to Article 13b and Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, manufacturers are to report certain data for all new heavy-duty vehicles which fall within the scope of that Regulation and of which the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption have been simulated.

(4)In order to ensure greater clarity of the legislation, the table specifying additional monitoring parameters in Part B of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should include a heading and be accompanied by explanatory notes providing guidance in certain cases.

(5)In the context of the verification of the CO₂ emissions of heavy-duty vehicles in-service, as provided for by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, the Commission is to carry out a risk assessment for the selection of vehicles in accordance with Article 3(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/35^note. As part of this assessment, the risk of a deviation in the CO₂ emission values of the vehicles with certain components is determined. This requires information on the manufacturers and makes of these components to complement the elements indicated in Article 3(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/35, which should thus be included in the reporting data.

(6)In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2400^note and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1362^note, manufacturers are to determine the performance of certain new motor vehicles with regard to their CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption, and of certain new trailers with regard to their influence on the CO₂ emissions, fuel consumption, energy consumption and zero emission driving range of motor vehicles, and should also report these data.

(7)The extension of the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 by Regulation (EU) 2024/1610 of the European Parliament and Council^note to new groups of motor vehicles and trailers, as well as the changes and new technologies introduced in Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 by Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/258^note and the upcoming amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1362 require certain additional monitoring parameters to ensure adequate monitoring which should thus be reported.

(8)To appropriately monitor certain specialised types of vehicles of category O as part of the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, parameters to identify and characterise those vehicles should be reported.

(9)Certain elements of the reporting process in accordance with Article 13b of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 for entities other than manufacturers responsible for the determination of the CO₂ emissions of a heavy-duty vehicle require clarification and should therefore be specified more precisely.

(10)In order to protect commercially sensitive data, certain parameters in the central register should not be made publicly available.

(11)As the addition of data requirements to Annex IV and the publication or non-publication of the data reported, as well as the specification of reporting requirements for technical services are closely linked in substance, amendments to both, Parts A and B of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 and points 1, 2 and 3.2 of Annex V to that Regulation, should be considered jointly in the same act.

(12)Part C of Annex IV and points 1.1, 2.1 and 2.2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 contain certain errors that affect the substance of those provisions. Those Annexes to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

(13)Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly,
