Regulation (EU) 2019/631

Article 1 – paragraph 5 a – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 90% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 93% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;
(This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Or. en

Justification

A 93% target maintains a clear and credible pathway towards zero-emission mobility while allowing a strictly limited 7% compensation mechanism for European fossil fuel-free steel. This better protects the electrification signal, consumer affordability, energy security and the competitiveness of the European EV value chain than a 90% target with broader fuel-based flexibilities.

Amendment 364

Proposal for a regulation

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b

Regulation (EU) 2019/631

Article 1 – paragraph 5 a – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 90% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 80% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;

Or. en

Justification

The proposed 90% van target for 2035 is too stringent given current technology and market constraints. Lowering the target to 80% offers a more realistic, gradual transition. This adjustment is necessary because vans face specific operational constraints, including high utilization, payload requirements, and intense cost sensitivity.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b

Regulation (EU) 2019/631

Article 1 – paragraph 5 a – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 90% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 80% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I.;

Or. en

Justification

A 2035 CO2 reduction target of 80% for light commercial vehicles would provide a more practical and economically sustainable transition pathway while continuing to support emissions reductions. Combined with greater use of renewable fuels and a stronger RED III target, it would help reduce emissions across both new and existing van fleets. Many operators, particularly SMEs, still face major barriers including limited charging infrastructure, high electricity costs, payload constraints and demanding duty cycles. A 100% target risks increasing costs, delaying fleet renewal and extending the use of older vehicles. An 80% target would preserve competitiveness, operational flexibility and business support while maintaining a realistic decarbonisation trajectory.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b a (new)

Regulation (EU) 2019/631

Article 1 – paragraph 5 b (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(ba) paragraph 5b is added as follows:
“5b. From 1 January 2040, the following EU fleet-wide targets shall apply:
(a) for the average emissions of the new passenger car fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 100% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part A, point 6.1.3, of Annex I;
(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 100% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I";

Or. en

Justification

A 2040 zero-emission target prevents temporary flexibilities from becoming permanent loopholes. It gives manufacturers, consumers, investors and charging infrastructure operators a clear long-term signal and aligns the Regulation with the Union’s 2040 climate trajectory and 2050 climate-neutrality objective. Road transport, which accounts for a significant amount of the Union’s GHG emissions, must contribute decisively to these targets.

Article 1 – paragraph 5 b (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(ba) paragraph 5 b is added as follows:
"5b. From 1 January 2040, the following EU fleet-wide targets shall apply:
(a) for the average emissions of the new passenger car fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 95% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part A, point 6.1.3, of Annex I;
(b) for the average emissions of the new light commercial vehicles fleet, an EU fleet-wide target equal to a 95% reduction of the target in 2021 determined in accordance with Part B, point 6.1.3, of Annex I;"

Or. en

Justification

While reflecting political will to soften the 2035 target, any adjustment should be strictly time-limited to remain aligned with the EU’s 2040 and 2050 climate goals. Internal combustion vehicles, unless using carbon-neutral fuels, increase emissions requiring compensation elsewhere. Even with e-fuels, efficiency is low, raising fuel demand and prices. Therefore, any softening should be limited to a 10-year period, with a progressive tightening in the middle of the period.

Article 1 – paragraph 7 (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
“7. This Regulation establishes the rules on vehicle labelling in order to ensure that relevant information relating to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles offered for sale or lease in the Union is made available to potential buyers.”;“7. This Regulation lays down minimum requirements for transparent consumer information about vehicles; this shall not prevent the Member States from introducing more extensive, non-discriminatory, technology-neutral and citizen-oriented information systems. Vehicle labelling must not favour or disadvantage any drive technology, and must comply with the principles of subsidiarity, proportionality and freedom of choice for consumers.”

Or. de

Justification

The Commission is proposing a heavily harmonised and centrally administered labelling system. The ESN Group believes that the EU should at most prescribe minimum standards. The Member States must retain flexibility, in particular as regards national energy mixes, regional mobility conditions, rural areas and consumer information which goes beyond simple exhaust values.

Or. de

Justification

Light commercial vehicles are used as working equipment by the trades, logistics, agriculture, municipalities and small companies. Preferential treatment which subtracted battery weight but ignored payload, range, raw material requirements and real operation would distort the market. The decisive factor is economic usability rather than solely drive type.

Justification

Consumer information must not become a bureaucratic trap for the automotive retail sector. Smaller dealers and leasing providers in particular should not have to bear the burden of new information, database and penalty risks.

Justification

The Regulation’s scope should reflect vehicle electrification and increasing EV mass while remaining aligned with related legislation, including driving licence rules. Replacing reference mass with maximum technically permissible laden mass would simplify monitoring, reduce administrative burden, and maintain the current vehicle scope, while aligning with the existing averaging mechanism.

Or. en

(32019R0631)

Justification

This amendment introduces a specific definition of low-emission light commercial vehicles by setting a dedicated threshold of up to 80 g CO2/km for vans, while maintaining the existing threshold of up to 50 g CO2/km for passenger cars. The operational requirements and use cases of light commercial vehicles differ significantly from those of passenger cars, justifying a differentiated regulatory approach.

In addition, the market ramp-up of battery-electric vehicles in the light commercial vehicle segment is progressing more slowly than in the passenger car segment, as the transition is more complex due to operational requirements, payload needs, long-distance operations and high 1tilization rates. This is particularly relevant for vehicles such as camper vans, construction and utility vehicles and express delivery vehicles, which are often deployed flexibly and across borders throughout Europe.

We urge the co-legislators to include and recognise the deployment of vehicles running exclusively on eligible fuels as set in the extended scope of article 5 a.Article 5 of the Euro 7 Regulation includes options for manufacturers concerning the construction and designation of vehicles. Eligible fuels vehicles could be designated as belonging to an additional option, with proper type approval rules. The Commission is empowered to add new options through delegated acts, according to Article 15 of Euro 7 Regulation. However, the CO2 regulation should define the main aspects of the approval rules of these vehicles:· The fact that they will be considered zero emissions for the purpose of the CO2 regulation;· The definition of a proper set of monitoring methodologies;· The definition of a pragmatic inducement system.

Or. en

Justification

VEEF (also known as CNF – vehicles running exclusively on renewable fuels) should benefit from a zero-emission rating at the combustion phase, in line with the zero-rating principle already applied to those RED-compliant fuels under the EU Emissions Trading System Directive (EU ETS, Directive (EU) 2023/959). In addition, CNFs, as proposed, are fully consistent with the “zero-rated fuels” defined in Article 3(23d) of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/2493, which includes all biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, synthetic low-carbon fuels, RFNBOs, and RCFs. Thus, vehicles exclusively using VEEF shall be considered “zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)” with net tailpipe emissions equal to 0 g CO₂/km and be counted as such for the OEMs’ fleet average. All RED-compliant renewable fuels should fall within the pathways under a VEEF classification. In parallel, the coming revision of the RED must set out a more progressive and economically sustainable pathway for minimum GHG reduction targets for road transport fuels for 2030 and beyond.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
“(n) ‘zero-emission vehicle’ means a passenger car or a light commercial vehicle with tailpipe emissions of 0 g CO2/km, as determined in accordance with the applicable EU type-approval procedure;“(n) ‘vehicle without direct exhaust emissions’ means a vehicle with direct exhaust emissions of 0 g CO2/km in line with the relevant EU type-approval procedure. This definition does not indicate whether the vehicle generates zero emissions across its entire life cycle.

Or. de

Justification

The term ‘zero-emission’ is misleading in relation to battery electric vehicles if matters such as electricity mix, battery production, the extraction of raw materials and recycling are not taken into account. Rather than a statement to the effect that the preferential treatment of electric cars is unlawful in and of itself, a legally compliant provision should therefore indicate that one-sided preferential treatment is subject to legal doubt unless due consideration is given to life cycle, electricity mix and dependencies.

Justification

The current framework overlooks the full decarbonisation potential of renewable fuels. Introducing a category for vehicles running exclusively on eligible fuels ensures technological neutrality. This approach strengthens Europe’s industrial base, diversifies powertrain options, and utilizes existing value chains, offering a pragmatic, cost-efficient path to climate neutrality.

Justification

Restrictions on the use of fuel and low-carbon steel credits should be removed to allow the benefits of low-carbon steel to be recognised across the widest possible range of vehicles. This would create a stronger incentive for OEMs to deploy low-carbon steel across their entire vehicle portfolios, rather than limiting its use to selected models. A broader approach would strengthen demand for low-carbon materials, support industrial investment and scale-up, and improve cost efficiency across the automotive value chain.

Justification

Averaging is an already established and appropriate mechanism to reflect market developments at this critical stage of e-mobility ramp-up, which continues to lag behind expectations. Both private consumers and businesses still face significant barriers, including insufficient charging infrastructure and high electricity prices in several EU Member States. In this context, the three- year averaging should be modified for vans and complemented for passenger cars, taking into account the differing market dynamics between these segments. For vans—particularly in light of the Commission’s proposed adjustment of the target—a five-year averaging period aligned with the agreed target phases (2025–2029 and 2030–2034) would be more suitable. This would allow for the necessary flexibility in compliance calculations, allowing for market fluctuations and a more realistic reflection of deployment trends.

Or. en

Justification

A limited degree of flexibility can help manufacturers manage short-term fluctuations. However, a broad three-year averaging system for 2030–2032 risks weakening the annual compliance signal at precisely the moment when the transition must accelerate. It could delay zero-emission vehicle deployment, reduce certainty for investors in batteries, charging infrastructure and European EV manufacturing, and undermine the contribution of road transport to the Union’s 2040 and 2050 climate objectives. Limiting the averaging period to two years, combined with a 5% cap on borrowing, provides targeted flexibility while preserving the 2030 investment signal and ensuring that road transport continues to contribute to the Union’s 2040 and 2050 climate objectives.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for the periods comprising the calendar years 2025 to 2027 and the calendar years 2030 to 2032, a manufacturer, including when it is a member of a pool, shall ensure that its average specific emissions of CO2 over these periods do not exceed its specific emissions target over these periods.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for the periods comprising the calendar years 2025 to 2027 and each subsequent three-year period thereafter, a manufacturer, including when it is a member of a pool, shall ensure that its average specific emissions of CO2 over these periods do not exceed its specific emissions target over these periods.

Or. en

Justification

A three-year averaging period for fleet emissions should be introduced as a permanent compliance mechanism. It would provide manufacturers with flexibility in the event of market shocks or volatility, while having only a limited impact on overall emissions by allowing some sales of lower-emission vehicles to be shifted over a limited period. It also offers a preferable alternative to front-loading such sales. This should be a final adjustment, after which penalties are fully enforced.

Or. en

Justification

To meet the 2030–2032 targets, annual battery-electric car sales would need to jump from 1.9 million to 6 million vehicles. Even with super-credits, a 1.4 million vehicle gap would remain, exposing manufacturers to up to €18 billion in annual penalties. Without greater flexibility, the proposal risks penalising European industry rather than accelerating market uptake. Five-year averaging periods for cars and vans would maintain the same regulatory outcome while providing a realistic compliance pathway.

Or. en

Justification

In a context in which e-mobility ramp-up is at a critical stage, with private consumers and businesses still facing a number of limitations, such as lack of charging infrastructure or high electricity prices in a number of EU member states, averaging mechanism is a well-known and accepted tool to reflect the market development. Therefore the 3 years averaging should be extended to 5 for vans, and the same measure should apply to passenger cars. The new target for vans (revised through this) should stick to the 5 years period within the agreed target steps (for years 2025-2029 and 2030-2034).This would allow the necessary flexibility in compliance calculation reflecting the market development and possible fluctuations. For the passenger cars, where the target has not been modified, 5 years averaging should continue to cover years 2028-2032 to make the -55% target for passenger cars achievable with no need to change the target as such.

Planning in the automotive industry is based on long product, investment and model cycles. Rigid annual targets encourage the use of short-term discount promotions, stoppages of production or penalty payments. A rolling multi-year analysis is more oriented to the market and reduces artificial distortions without producing direct market constraints to the detriment of citizens and companies.

Justification

In order to ensure a level playing field between BEVs and VEEFs, VEEFs should be recognised as zero-emission for the purposes of the Regulation. However, after five years they should only be accounted for in such a manner as they reflect the actual emissions saved compared to conventional fuels taking into account that up-to-day neither the electricity to charge BEVs nor the production of BEVs themselves are completely climate-neutral. Based on these comparisons, the Commission should adopt a delegated act and adjust the accounting factor after five years if necessary.

By the end of 2026, in accordance with Articles 5 and 15 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7), the Commission shall adopt a delegated act introducing an additional option to implement the rules for the type approval of such vehicles.
The delegated act referred to in this paragraph shall lay down the following:
(a) a proper set of monitoring methodologies which are suitable for both liquid and gaseous fuels;
(b) a flexible and pragmatic inducement system, that does not introduce any safety risk for the final user;
(c) rules for vehicles travelling outside the EU and in cross-border transport.
Accordingly, the Commission shall by the end of 2026 integrate this into the Certificate of Conformity by amending with an Implementing Act the Regulation (EU) 2020/683.”.

Justification

The proposal removes the clause which would allow small electric cars manufactured in the EU to be counted as more than one vehicle for a fixed period of time. Instead of a fixed-term special advantage for an individual drive type, a technology-neutral framework for practical and affordable vehicles for citizens is required.

Justification

Super-credits are a necessary transitional flexibility mechanism to ensure Europe’s automotive sector can remain competitive while delivering the clean mobility transition. This amendment would provide manufacturers with realistic pathways to meet the proposed EU CO2 targets for cars for 2030–2032 without imposing disproportionate costs that risk undermining investment, jobs and industrial capacity in Europe. To meet these targets, annual battery-electric car sales would need to rise from 1.9 million in 2025 to around 6 million. Even with super-credits, a gap of 1.4 million vehicles could remain, exposing manufacturers to up to €18 billion in annual penalties and weakening Europe’s ability to compete globally.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
3. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 17 in order to supplement this Regulation by setting up a methodology for determining the criteria for a car to be considered ‘made in the EU ’.3. The Commission shall put forward a proposal for a technology-neutral framework for affordable vehicles for citizens by …. This framework shall take into account factors such as purchase price, total cost of ownership, repairability, insurability, range, usability in rural areas, raw material requirements, European value creation and life-cycle emissions.

Or. de

Justification

A fixed-term bonus of 1.3 for small electric vehicles manufactured in the EU would give rise to anticipatory effects until 2034, and a potential cliff edge in demand and production from 2035. Manufacturers might push vehicles onto the market due to regulatory advantages instead of genuine demand among citizens. This jeopardises residual value, leasing calculations and investment decisions. Affordable mobility must be defined on a technology-neutral basis.

The Commission shall use the same methodology also for the annual estimate of distribution of the vehicle prices and determine the first-lowest price decile of newly sold cars.

Or. en

Justification

While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) perform well in terms of efficiency and emissions, particularly as electricity generation becomes more sustainable and production-related emissions decline, significant differences in energy consumption remain even among vehicles within the same category. Therefore, an additional credit should reward vehicles whose energy consumption is better than that of 90% of newly sold vehicles in the relevant category, as well as to affordable small electric cars originating in the EU that provide low-cost mobility.

Or. en

Justification

While BEVs perform well in terms of efficiency and emissions, particularly as electricity generation becomes more sustainable and emissions from production continue to decline, there are still substantial differences in efficiency and energy consumption even among vehicles within the same category.

Or. en

Justification

Vehicle length is not an appropriate proxy for CO₂ performance and should therefore not be thedecisive criterion for granting a multiplier. A multiplier limited to short vehicles would risk narrowinginnovation incentives and could discourage improvements in efficiency and other CO₂-relevantparameters, thereby weakening the global competitiveness of EU manufacturers.Other factors, including the CO₂ content of materials and drivetrain efficiency, are also relevant forthe overall climate impact of a vehicle. A vehicle optimised across these parameters may delivergreater CO₂ reductions than a vehicle assessed primarily on the basis of length.Since energy efficiency has a direct impact on both running costs and CO₂ performance, highlyefficient vehicles of ≤ 175 Wh/km should receive a multiplier of 1.2, and vehicles of ≤ 165 Wh/km amultiplier of 1.3. This would reward measurable efficiency gains, reduce resource use and supporttangible CO₂ reductions, while ensuring a balanced and technology-neutral regulatory framework.

From the entry into force of this Regulation, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions achieved by the use of sustainable renewable fuels, synthetic fuels, advanced biofuels, biogas, RFNBOs and other fuels which demonstrably reduce emissions shall be taken into account, comprehensively and in a non-discriminatory fashion, in relation to the achievement of targets. They shall be credited on the basis of a methodology which applies uniformly throughout the EU and which is transparent and verifiable.

Or. de

Justification

If a fuel demonstrably reduces greenhouse gas emissions, this reduction must be recognised. Renewable and synthetic fuels preserve industrial know-how relating to the internal combustion engine, make use of existing infrastructure, reduce switching costs for citizens and companies and lessen the dependencies involved in raw material chains for batteries.

Sustainable renewable fuels and advanced biofuels will remain scarce and strategically valuable in the coming decades. They should therefore be prioritized for sectors where electrification is not yet viable, notably maritime and aviation, where they play a key role in decarbonization pathways. Using such fuels as a compliance flexibility in road transport would risk diverting limited resources from these hard-to-abate sectors and should therefore be time-limited.

In all cases, eligible fuels shall meet required EU fuel quality standards.

Or. en

Justification

The fuel credit mechanism proposed by EU Commission of a defined CO2 compensation via the use of CO2 neutral fuels is generally supported but should be adjusted in its details: It makes sense to use the fuel compensation proposed by the EU Commission before 2035 in order to allow the CO2 effect of the market fuel that already exists today to take effect for compliance with the upcoming 2030 target. All these eligible fuels should be covered by minimum quality standards to ensure broad compatibility of use in road vehicles.

Article 5 a – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
in Article 5 a, the following paragraph is added:
4 a. Member States and manufacturers shall apply a unified methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emission reductions from renewable fuels in all reporting and compliance verification. The contribution of any single quantity of renewable fuel shall only be counted once, either in the calculation of a vehicle’s tailpipe CO₂ emissions under Regulation (EU) 2019/631 or as part of an offset mechanism in accordance with the sustainability and GHG calculation rules established in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 as amended by RED III.

Or. en

Justification

By explicitly requiring a single counting principle and aligning the methodology with the sustainability and greenhouse gas accounting rules under RED III, the amendment ensures robust and coherent accounting of renewable fuels. It prevents double counting by guaranteeing that their contribution is recognized only once, whether through tailpipe CO₂ reductions or fuel credits, thereby safeguarding environmental integrity and the credibility of the framework.

(This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Or. en

Justification

Steel credits should support genuinely clean European industrial production and must not become a broad compensation mechanism for continued emissions from new cars and vans. Requiring eligible steel to be produced without fossil fuels as energy sources ensures that the credit contributes to the Union’s climate-neutrality objective, strengthens European clean industrial value chains and creates a credible lead market for fossil-free steel made in the Union. This also preserves the environmental integrity of the CO2 standards by ensuring that any compensation mechanism is limited to high-integrity industrial decarbonisation.

Or. en

Justification

Expanding credits beyond steel to include other carbon-intensive materials like aluminum, plastics and glass would more accurately reflect embedded vehicle emissions. Because these materials represent a major share of a vehicles lifecycle emissions, recognizing them would incentivize innovation and investment across the automotive value chain. To prevent delayed deployment, the start date must be moved up from 2035 to provide an immediate, predictable investment signal.
