Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (20a) Given the diversity of market structures, infrastructure readiness, leasing models, taxation systems and operational conditions across the Union, the decarbonisation of corporate fleets should primarily be supported through enabling measures, guidance, exchange of best practices and targeted incentives, including publicly accessible recharging and refuelling infrastructure, grid reinforcement and network capacity, affordable energy prices, sufficient vehicle production capacity, access to financing and leasing solutions and stable residual value conditions. In the absence of such enabling conditions, mandatory targets risk creating disproportionate economic and operational distortions. In this context, Commission guidelines can support Member States in identifying the most cost-effective and operationally feasible pathways towards cleaner corporate fleets while preserving competitiveness and avoiding disproportionate administrative burden. |
Or. en
Justification
This recital reflects the need for a flexible and proportionate framework capable of accommodating different national circumstances and supporting a pragmatic transition towards cleaner corporate fleets.
Amendment 257

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (20a) Measures adopted by Member States should avoid creating de facto purchasing obligations for individual undertakings, including through leasing chains, subcontracting arrangements or licensing requirements. |
Or. en
Justification
The transition towards cleaner corporate fleets should preserve business freedom, and avoid disproportionate direct and indirect obligations on operators.

Recital 20 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (20b) In accordance with the principles of Better Regulation and the objectives set out in the Competitiveness Compass, Union action in the field of corporate fleet decarbonisation should minimise unnecessary administrative burden, preserve investment certainty and avoid disproportionate compliance costs for undertakings, notably SMEs. |
Or. en
Justification
The transition towards cleaner corporate fleets should remain compatible with the Union’s competitiveness objectives and with the need to reduce excessive regulatory and administrative burdens.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| This Regulation establishes a framework for increasing the uptake of zero-and low-emission vehicles within the Union.

| This Regulation establishes a framework for increasing the uptake of zero-and low-emission vehicles within the Union. It sets targets for the share of zero- and low emission vehicles in new corporate cars and vans registered by large undertakings in each Member State. This Regulation does not prevent any Member State from setting more ambitious targets. | This Regulation lays down conditions under which Member States may adopt measures relating to commercial vehicles. These measures must be technology-neutral, proportionate and based on a life-cycle approach. Vehicles must not be classified as clean or granted regulatory advantages solely because they have no exhaust emissions. The decisive factor shall be a comprehensive life-cycle assessment encompassing manufacture, raw material extraction, energy or fuel supply, use, maintenance, recycling and disposal. This Regulation must not be applied in such a way as to give favourable or prejudicial treatment to certain powertrain technologies without a comprehensive life-cycle assessment. |
Or. de
Justification
The purpose of the regulation must be to ensure technology neutrality and life-cycle assessment. An approach grounded in exhaust emissions alone is insufficient.

|---|---|
| This Regulation establishes a framework for increasing the uptake of zero-and low-emission vehicles within the Union. It sets targets for the share of zero- and low emission vehicles in new corporate cars and vans registered by large undertakings in each Member State. This Regulation does not prevent any Member State from setting more ambitious targets. | This Directive establishes a framework for increasing the uptake of zero-and low-emission vehicles, including vehicles using sustainable low-carbon fuels, these fuels are those defined by Directive (EU) 2018/2001, fulfilling the criteria set out in Article 29, 29a and 31 of that Directive and associated delegated acts, within the Union. It sets indicative targets for the progressive increase in the share of such vehicles in new corporate cars and vans registered by large undertakings in each Member State. This Directive does not prevent any Member State from setting more ambitious targets. |
Or. en
Justification
This amendment aligns the subject matter of the Directive with its indicative target structure, clarifying that the Directive establishes a framework to incentivise a progressive increase in cleaner vehicles rather than imposing binding purchasing obligations. It also clarifies that low-emission vehicles should appropriately encompass vehicles using sustainable low-carbon fuels, as defined according to the EU RED Directive, consistent with a technology-open approach and the objective of a pragmatic transition.
Amendment 265
Carlo Fidanza
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| This Regulation establishes a framework for increasing the uptake of zero-and low-emission vehicles within the Union. It sets targets for the share of zero- and low emission vehicles in new corporate cars and vans registered by large undertakings in each Member State. This Regulation does not prevent any Member State from setting more ambitious targets. | The Commission shall develop non-binding guidelines aimed at supporting the uptake of zero- and low-emission vehicles within the Union, taking into account national circumstances, infrastructure readiness, market conditions and operational realities across Member States. Those guidelines should support the exchange of best practices and identify enabling measures, including targeted incentives, infrastructure deployment, grid readiness, financing solutions and measures supporting the competitiveness of undertakings, notably SMEs. Member States should remain free to adopt national measures and targets in accordance with their respective national circumstances and policy priorities. |
Or. en
Justification
Given major differences between Member States in infrastructure, taxation, leasing models, economic conditions and operational needs, a non-binding framework based on Commission guidelines, best-practice exchange and enabling measures would be more proportionate than binding Union legislation. It would better respect subsidiarity, proportionality and Better Regulation, while limiting burdens and costs, especially for SMEs.

| This Regulation shall not apply to corporate cars and vans that are specially designed for emergency responses, including vehicles used for the urgent restoration and maintenance of critical energy, electricity, gas, water or telecommunications networks, where the operational requirements of such services cannot reasonably be fulfilled by zero- or low-emission vehicle technologies, taking into account availability, response time, payload, reliability and safety requirements. |
Or. en
Justification
Corporate cars and vans used for emergency response operations, including the urgent restoration and maintenance of critical energy, electricity, gas, water and telecommunications networks, should be exempted from the scope of this Regulation. These vehicles often operate during extreme weather events or outages in areas without access to electricity, where recharging is not possible. Current zero- and low-emission vehicle technologies cannot reliably meet the operational requirements of such services in terms of availability, response time, payload, reliability and safety. This is particularly the case for specialised vehicles such as aerial work platforms.
Consequently, these emergency response vehicles should be excluded from the calculation of the targets for the share of zero- and low-emission vehicles applicable from 2030 and 2035. Such an exemption would prevent disproportionate burdens on operators responsible for critical infrastructure and help ensure rapid emergency interventions and public safety.

Or. en
Justification
While the CO₂ standards allow low-emission vehicles, they mandate the sale of new cars of 90% and 40% for vans by 2035; mirroring this ambition here is vital to avoid policy contradictions that weaken Europe’s global leadership and perpetuate dependencies on imported fuels. Excluding Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), which often underperform on real-world emissions, prevents flooding the second-hand market with technologies that were meant to enable the transition to zero-emission. This clarity secures investment, drives down costs, and ensures corporate fleets accelerate a fair transition by supplying households and SMEs with vehicles truly aligned the EU’s resilience and competitiveness goals.

Or. en
Justification
For certain usage profiles, particularly, those where public order safety, municipal services and emergency response public health and civil protection tasks are required, zero- and lowemission vehicles are not yet adequate choices. Company, until now, do not have battery capacities available to allow the necessary temperature control or adequate refrigeration in an electric vehicle. This issue is further complicated where deliveries are needed in extremely hot/cold weather.

Justification
This amendment ensures legal certainty and avoids disproportionate effects for undertakings fluctuating around the size thresholds. It aligns the application of this Directive withthe stability principle already embedded in Directive 2013/34/EU, under which changes in size category take effect only after two consecutive financial years, thereby preventing borderline undertakings from being captured unpredictably by registration and reporting obligations.

Or. en
Justification
This amendment preserves the structure of the Commission proposal while clarifying that national targets should be indicative reference points guiding supportive and enabling measures by Member States, not binding obligations that could become direct or indirect purchasing mandates. The Directive should prioritise enabling conditions, including infrastructure and financial support, and exclude company-level mandates.

Justification
The evidence shows that incentives and investment in infrastructure and not targets have propelled the EU Member States with the fastest uptake of corporate EVs. Therefore, this proposal should lay down aspirational targets while encouraging Member States to develop measures to promote corporate EV uptake and EV uptake more broadly.

Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1a) The target values set out in this Regulation shall not apply until the Commission has submitted a comprehensive assessment to the European Parliament and the Council encompassing all of the following points: | |
| (a) a comprehensive life-cycle methodology in accordance with Article 7(a) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 and details of its application to all vehicle categories covered by that Regulation; | |
| (b) an updated impact assessment on the effects on businesses, car manufacturers, suppliers, employment, vehicle prices, leasing instalments, residual values, second-hand car markets, taxpayers and consumers; | |
| (c) an assessment of the charging and grid infrastructure, including grid connections, depot charging, fast-charging availability, electricity prices, load management and regional differences; | |
| (d) an assessment of the availability of suitable vehicles for different operational profiles, in particular vans, service fleets, the construction sector, skilled trades, rural regions, shift work, trailer operations, refrigerated vehicles, the security services and the emergency services; | |
| (e) an assessment of dependencies on raw materials, batteries and supply chains, in particular with regard to critical raw materials, battery cells, cathode and anode materials, processing capacities and recycling; | |
| (f) an assessment of the specific, additional and measurable contribution of this Regulation to reducing global emissions and to global temperature trends; | |
| (g) an assessment of less interventionist, technology-neutral alternatives. The targets may only be applied once the Commission has submitted a legislative proposal to activate the targets, based on the assessment referred to in the first subparagraph, and once that proposal has been adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure. | |
| That legislative proposal may only be submitted if the Commission demonstrates that the target values are suitable, necessary, proportionate, technology-neutral, economically viable and compatible with the Union’s industrial competitiveness. |
Or. de
Justification
This is the key ‘stop-the-clock’ mechanism. The target values must not take effect automatically. Only once the Commission has provided all the necessary evidence and their implementation has been approved through the ordinary legislative procedure may the target values be applied.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1a. In the achievement of the targets referred to in paragraph 1, Member States may account for a maximum of 10 percentage points of the targets for the share of zero- emission cars and vans through verifiable support for the purchase and leasing of company bicycles, including electric bicycles and cargo bicycles. |
Or. en
Justification
Allows Member States limited flexibility to achieve part of the targets through verifiable company bicycle leasing schemes and other zero-emission multimodal solutions, in line with the proposed 10 percentage-point allowance under Article 3(1bis). This reflects proven national experience, notably in Germany, where company bike leasing has already reached more than 2 million active leased bicycles and has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing car dependency, congestion and emissions from commuting and business travel. Such flexibility enables Member States to use the most effective local and national tools, while ensuring that the core ambition of accelerating ZEV uptake remains intact. It also recognises that, for many urban trips, bicycles, cargo bikes and e-bikes provide a more space-efficient and cost-effective zero-emission alternative than replacing every trip with a car or van.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the targets set out in Tables 1 and 2 of the Annex shall be indicative for a Member State that demonstrates to the Commission that measures already adopted at national level are expected to achieve a share of new zero- and low-emission vehicle registrations that results in CO₂ emissions equal to or lower than those resulting from compliance with the national corporate fleet target. | |
| The Member State shall submit evidence through its national plan referred to in art 6 paragraph 1 of this Regulation. | |
| Where the Commission concludes that the impact of those measures leads to same or lower CO2 emissions compared with the targets set out in the Annex, the targets shall be considered indicative for that Member State. |
Or. en
Justification
Member States should be able to derogate from binding corporate fleet targets where they have implemented alternative policies that support the uptake of low- and zero-emission vehicles (irrespective of vehicle ownership) and are consistent with EU climate objectives. This is possible where the Commission determines that those national policies achieve CO₂ emissions from cars and LCVs that are equal to or lower than the emissions that would result from meeting the Annex targets.

| Support for smart and bidirectional charging | |
| 1. As smart recharging of electric vehicles is crucial to the system integration of clean electricity, Member States shall support and encourage fleet operators to adopt electric vehicles and related recharging infrastructure capable of smart and or bidirectional charging. | |
| 2. To further lower the total cost of ownership of zero emission vehicles, smart charging shall be promoted as the default charging mode. | |
| 3. To promote the uptake of smart and bidirectional charging amongst corporate fleets, Member States shall support and encourage fleet operators to conduct an analysis on the cost and benefits of deploying smart and bidirectional charging solutions in their fleets. To this end, Member States should also support smart and bidirectional charging through dedicated funding programs. | |
| 4. The Commission should encourage Member States to make V2G as simple as possible for companies and publish best practices of administrative handling of V2G financial flows for fleets. | |
| 5. To accompany this transition and improve consumer information, Member States shall provide companies falling under the scope of this Regulation with dedicated pedagogical advisors to explain the benefits of smart and bidirectional charging technologies. | |
| 6. Companies not falling under the scope of this Regulation can also benefit from this service, upon request. |
Or. en
Justification
Fleets are particularly relevant for smart and bidirectional charging because of their operational patterns making them ideal candidates for demand response participation.
The latter will be crucial for the efficient integration of EVs into the power system and for reaching EU objectives on transport decarbonation. This is also acknowledged in Renewable Energy Directive: « Recharging points where electric vehicles typically park for extended periods of time, such as where people park for reasons of residence or employment, are highly relevant to energy system integration. Smart and, where appropriate, bi-directional recharging functionalities therefore need to be ensured. » As such, smart charging should also be promoted as the default mode when feasible because it brings cost savings, facilitates renewables integration in the system and stabilizes the grid.
Yet, smart, and more importantly bidirectional charging, technologies are still not well known among the general public, including fleets. Awareness-raising efforts are therefore needed to promote acceptance of the transition to electric vehicles among businesses. There are already analytical tools and platforms that can be used by fleet operators to quantify and measure the impact of smart and bidirectional charging.

| 2. In this regard, the European Commission shall encourage Member States to put in place national measures and dedicated instruments to support second-hand buyers. | |
| 3. Member States should also be encouraged to put in place social leasing programs targeting second-hand zero-emission vehicles. Relevant European or national funding programs should support the uptake of the second-hand market. | |
| 4. The European Commission could also promote European standardised reporting for certain indicators, such as the battery health, linked to vehicles owned by fleet operators before they reach the second-hand market. | |
| 5. To monitor progress in achieving the objective of zero-emission availability on the second-hand market, the European Commission will publish a specific study to analyse the progress per Member State through dedicated indicators such as the share of zero-emission vehicles in registrations of second-hand vehicles and the average age of corporate zero-emission vehicles entering the second-hand market. |

| The national plans shall set out measures, beyond large undertakings, for companies to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles and encourage multimodality, such as social leasing schemes for small electric vehicles, company bike leasing, and mobility budgets encouraging the use of public transport, to address evolving private and corporate mobility demands sustainably. |
Or. en
Justification
To support Member States, the European Commission should promptly publish guidance that highlights successful measures implemented to date and provides practical recommendations for their effective adoption. While acknowledging that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, this Regulation must be framed not solely as a regulatory instrument but also as an enabling framework, supporting Member States to deploy innovative and impactful solutions that advance sustainable and multimodal corporate mobility.
To this end, national plans should set out measures, beyond large undertakings, for companies to promote the adoption of ZEVs and encourage multimodality, such as social leasing schemes for small electric vehicles, company bike leasing, and mobility budgets encouraging the use of public transport, to address evolving private and corporate mobility demands sustainably. Recent national experiences demonstrate the viability of these approaches: France has successfully implemented a "social leasing" scheme, subsidising access to EVs for lower-income households and reaching over 41,500 users by 2025; Belgium has pioneered the widespread adoption of corporate mobility budgets, allowing employees to trade de the use of private cars with sustainable transport options like public transport passes or shared mobility; and Germany has expanded bike leasing programs, offering fiscal incentives that make electric bicycles an affordable and attractive option for corporate fleets and individual employees alike.
Expand the monitoring and reporting provisions to capture not only the registration of zero-emission vehicles, but also the implementation and impact of multimodal measures that contribute to corporate fleet decarbonisation.

The review shall evaluate measures implemented by Member States to accelerate the uptake of zero-emission vehicles with a view to establishing further guidance and shall assess the feasibility of extending the scope to other vehicle categories, such as heavy-duty vehicles. |
Or. en
Justification
The current proposal sets the review for 2032, a timeframe that is too distant given the rapid acceleration of electric vehicle sales and the volatility of global supply chains. An early review by 31 December 2030 is essential to ensure the Regulation remains relevant and that targets are not rendered obsolete by market shifts.
Furthermore, the 2030 review must serve as a critical juncture to address the current regulatory gap regarding non-large undertakings. While the targets in the proposed Regulation currently focus on "large undertakings," a significant portion of corporate mobility (logistics, rental, and leasing sectors) operates outside this definition. The review must assess the effectiveness of national plans in covering these excluded sectors and evaluate the feasibility of extending binding targets to them.
Finally, the review must explicitly examine the potential for expanding the Regulation’s scope to vehicles currently excluded, specifically Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) and ride-hailing. These represent a critical share of urban emissions and are pivotal for achieving the EU’s air quality and climate objectives. An early review allows the Commission to gather data on these sectors and propose timely amendments to ensure a comprehensive, rather than partial, decarbonisation strategy.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 1 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Following any application of the targets set out in Article 3, the Commission shall review, on an annual basis, the impact of this Regulation on the European automotive industry, in particular on production, employment, suppliers, research and development, investment, location decisions, vehicle prices, leasing rates, residual values, second-hand car markets, competitiveness, the trade balance, raw material dependencies, battery dependencies and the Union’s strategic autonomy. |
Or. de
Justification
Article 7 provides a back-up safeguard in the event that the target values are ever activated at a later date. It does not replace, but rather supplements, the previous ‘stop-the-clock’ mechanism . The sunset clause prevents flawed or harmful regulations from remaining in force indefinitely.
