### (3) regulation (eu) 2019/631 of the european parliament and of the council46 and regulation (eu) 2019/1242 of the european parliament and of the council47 already set co2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles as well as for certain heavy-duty vehicles. those instruments should accelerate the uptake in particular of zero-emission vehicles and thereby create demand for recharging and refuelling infrastructure. ### (3) regulation (eu) 2019/631 of the european parliament and of the council46 and regulation (eu) 2019/1242 of the european parliament and of the council47 already set co2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles as well as for certain heavy-duty vehicles. those instruments should accelerate the uptake in particular of low-emission vehicles and thereby create demand for recharging and refuelling infrastructure.


### (5) therefore all modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account a variety of alternative fuels. the use of zero-emission powertrain technologies is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport. in particular , in the road sector , a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is taking place. hydrogen fuel-cell road vehicles are available to markets , as well. in addition , smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels and hydrogen fuel-cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations , with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. in contrast , the aviation and waterborne sectors continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels , as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later , with full commercialisation taking its time. the use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the union , requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane , advanced biofuels or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels. ### (5) therefore all modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account a variety of alternative fuels. the use of zero-emission powertrain technologies is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport. in particular , in the road sector , a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is taking place. hydrogen fuel-cell road vehicles are available to markets , as well. in addition , smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels and hydrogen fuel-cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations , with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. in contrast , the aviation and waterborne sectors continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels , as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later , with full commercialisation taking its time. the use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the union , requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane , biopropane , biomass fuels , biofuels (including biolpg and renewable dimethyl ether) , advanced biofuels , recycled carbon fuels , renewable fuels of non-biological origin or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels.

### (6) such biofuels and synthetic fuels , substituting diesel , petrol and jet fuel , can be produced from different feedstock and can be blended into fossil fuels at very high blending ratios. they can be technically used with the current vehicle technology with minor adaptations. renewable methanol can also be used for inland navigation and short-sea shipping. synthetic and paraffinic fuels have a potential to reduce the use of fossil fuel sources in the energy supply to transport. all of these fuels can be distributed , stored and used with the existing infrastructure or where necessary with infrastructure of the same kind. ### (6) such biomass fuels , biogas , advanced biofuels , biofuels , recycled carbon fuels , renewable fuels of non-biological origin and synthetic fuels , substituting diesel , petrol and jet fuel , can be produced from different feedstock and can be blended into fossil fuels at very high blending ratios. renewable and biomass fuels , can made and blended with conventional gaseous fuels such us natural gas , lpg and lng. they can be technically used with the current vehicle technology with minor or no adaptations. renewable and bio-based liquefied natural gas can be used for heavy transport , both by rail and by sea. already 20% of gas used in road transport is biomethane (biocng and biolng) , a share which is quickly increasing , supporting the decarbonisation of the sector. renewable methanol can also be used for inland navigation and short-sea shipping. synthetic and paraffinic fuels have a potential to reduce the use of fossil fuel sources in the energy supply to transport. all of these fuels can be distributed , stored and used with the existing infrastructure or where necessary with infrastructure of the same kind.


### (7) lng is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport , where there is currently no economically viable zero-emission powertrain technology available. the communication on the smart and sustainable mobility strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. fleet conversion should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. contrary to maritime transport , for inland waterways , with normally smaller vessels and shorter distances , zero-emission powertrain technologies , such as hydrogen and electricity , should enter the markets more quickly. lng is expected to no longer play a significant role in that sector. transport fuels such as lng need increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-lng) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e-gas) for instance. those decarbonised fuels can be used in the same infrastructure as gaseous fossil fuels thereby allowing for a gradual shift towards decarbonised fuels. ### (7) lng is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport , where there is currently no economically viable zero-emission powertrain technology available. the communication on the smart and sustainable mobility strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. fleet conversion should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. for inland waterways , with normally smaller vessels and shorter distances , lpg , lng , hydrogen and electricity , also in their renewable derivatives , can immediately play a significant role in that sector. transport fuels such as lng need increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-lng) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e-gas) for instance. those decarbonised fuels can be used in the same infrastructure as gaseous fossil fuels thereby allowing for a gradual shift towards decarbonised fuels.


### (8) in the heavy-duty road transport sector , lng trucks are fully mature. on the one hand , the common scenarios underpinning the sustainable and smart mobility strategy and the climate target plan as well as the revised “fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of gaseous fuels that will increasingly be decarbonised in heavy-duty road transport especially in the long haul segment. furthermore , lpg and cng vehicles for which already a sufficient infrastructure network exists across the union are expected to gradually be replaced by zero emission drivetrains and therefore only a limited targeted policy for lng infrastructure deployment that can equally supply decarbonised fuels is considered necessary to close remaining gaps in the main networks. ### (8) in the heavy-duty road transport sector , lng trucks are fully mature. on the one hand , the common scenarios underpinning the sustainable and smart mobility strategy and the climate target plan as well as the revised “fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of conventional gaseous fuels that will increasingly be replaced with decarbonised pathways.


### (9) the deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the union. continued uneven distribution would jeopardize the uptake of such vehicles , limiting connectivity across the union. continuing divergence in policy ambitions and approaches at national level will not create the long-term certainty needed for substantive market investment. mandatory minimum targets for member states at national level should therefore provide policy orientations and complement national policy frameworks. that approach should combine national fleet based targets with distance-based targets for the trans-european network for transport (ten-t). national fleet based targets should ensure that vehicle uptake in each member state is matched with the deployment of sufficient publicly accessible recharging infrastructure. distance-based targets for the ten-t network should ensure full coverage of electric recharging points along the union’s main road networks and thereby ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the union. ### (9) the deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the union. divergence in circumstances , policy ambitions and approaches at national level should be respected , rather than pursuing a one-size-fits-all approach. that approach should combine indicative national fleet based targets with distance-based targets for the trans-european network for transport (ten-t). national fleet based targets should ensure that vehicle uptake in each member state is matched with the deployment of sufficient publicly accessible recharging infrastructure. distance-based targets for the ten-t network should ensure full coverage of electric recharging points along the union’s main road networks and thereby ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the union.
