(5)Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 setting CO 2 emission perfor mance 
standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and amending Regulations (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament 
and of the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC (OJ L 198, 25.7.2019, p. 202). EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 12.11.2019                                                                                                                                       L 291/17   (4) With a view to ensur ing coherence between EC type-approval legislation and the harmonised rules for road vehicles 
circulating within the Union, it is necessar y to lay down type-appro val requirements for motor vehicles with 
elongat ed cabs and for aerodynamic equipment or devices in order to ensure that they provide benefits in terms of 
energy performa nce, better visibility for drivers, safety to other road users as well as safety and comf ort for drivers. 
(5) It is not possible for an appro val author ity to certify that a type of aerodynamic device and equipment satisfi es the 
relevant technical requirements independently of a vehicle. Such aerodynamic devices and equipment should 
theref ore be type-approved in relation to one or more specifi ed types of vehicles or in relation to generic vehicles 
for which the precise dimensions and mater ial specifi cations at the installation location are defined . For that reason, 
they should be type-approved as separate technical units and the specifi c requirements for their approval before 
being placed on the market should be set out. Elong ated cabs should be subject to a vehicle type-approval, 
respectively , as required by Directive 96/53/EC. 
(6) Com pliance with the upcoming CO2 emission standards for heavy duty vehicles will require the application of 
various technologies to impro ve energy efficiency . One of the most efficient measures to impro ve energy efficiency 
is to reduce air drag of motor vehicles. 
(7) Retractable or foldable aerodynamic devices attach ed to the rear of trucks and their trailers and aerodynamic devices 
and equipment of cabs should be constr ucted in such a way to ensure that they do not impair the capability of the 
vehicle to be used for interm odal transpor t. Theref ore, the maximum width of 2,60 m should apply to all vehicles, 
including the refrigerat ed ones. In addition, the aerodynamic devices should be able to resist the displacement of air 
generated by operational circumstances in interm odal transpor t. 
(8) Alte rnatively fuelled or zero-emission motor vehicles should benefi t from extra weight allowance. The additional 
weight required for the alternati ve fuel or zero-emission technology should be clearly indicated on the 
manufact urer ’s statut ory plate. 
(9) Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 should theref ore be amended according ly.
