Article 3a CO2emissions reduction targets

The average CO2 emissions of the Union fleet of new heavy-duty motor vehicles, other than special purpose vehicles, off-road vehicles and off-road special purpose vehicles shall be reduced by the following percentages compared to the average CO2 emissions of the reporting period of the year 2019:

The vehicle sub-groups shall contribute to the CO2 emissions reduction targets referred to in paragraph 1, in accordance with point 4.3 of Annex I.

The CO2 emissions related to the Union fleet of new trailers shall be reduced in accordance with point 4.3 of Annex I.

Notwithstanding Article 2(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2400, approved heavy-duty vehicles falling under Article 2(3), first subparagraph, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 shall not be subject to the CO2 emissions reduction targets set out in paragraphs 1 to 3 of this Article, unless the manufacturer chooses to include those heavy-duty vehicles in the calculation of its specific CO2 emissions and targets when reporting those heavy-duty vehicles in accordance with Part B of Annex IV to this Regulation.

Heavy-duty vehicles other than those referred to in paragraph 4 that are registered for use by civil protection services, fire services, forces responsible for maintaining the public order or urgent medical care services shall not be subject to the CO2 emissions reduction targets set out in paragraphs 1 to 3, provided that a Member State so indicates in the registration and reporting process, thereby confirming in the data reported in accordance with Part A of Annex IV that the purpose of the heavy-duty vehicle cannot be equally served by a zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle and it is therefore in the public interest to register a heavy-duty vehicle with a combustion engine to fulfil that purpose.
