Stricter CO₂ standards for heavy-duty vehicles

첹ٲ 15-11-2023

In February 2023, the European Commission tabled a legislative proposal to revise Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission standards for new heavy-duty vehicles in the EU. The proposed revision would expand the scope of the regulation to include urban buses, coaches, trailers and additional types of lorries. The average CO2 emissions of new heavy-duty vehicles would be reduced by 90 % below 1990 levels by 2040, and all newly registered urban buses would have to be zero-emission vehicles from 2030. The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted its report on the proposal on 24 October 2023. Ϸվ is expected to vote on the report during the November II plenary session, setting its position for trilogue talks.
