### (12) the updated new industrial strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry , public authorities , social partners and other stakeholders. in this context , a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. the pathway should take particular heed of smes in the automotive supply chain , of the consultation of social partners including by member states , and also build on the european skills agenda with initiatives like the pact for skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. the appropriate actions and incentives at european and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. the progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the commission , looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero-emission vehicles , their price developments , deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll-out as required under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation , the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility , international competitiveness , investments in the automotive value chain , up-skilling and re-skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. the progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that member states submit under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation. the commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report , including the results in the social dialogue. innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture , if further developed , could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. the commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. ### (12) the updated new industrial strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry , public authorities , social partners and other stakeholders. in this context , a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain through the use of various union funds in order to ensure that the transition is tailored to the needs of workers , while also supporting regions and communities that are most affected with a view to closing the gap between developed and less developed economies in the union. the pathway should take particular heed of smes in the automotive supply chain , of the consultation of social partners including by member states , and also build on the european skills agenda with initiatives like the pact for skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. the appropriate actions and incentives at european and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. the progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the commission , looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero-emission vehicles , their price developments , deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll-out as required under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation , while exploiting synergies between ten-e and ten-t , the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility , international competitiveness , investments in the automotive value chain , up-skilling , re-skilling and our-skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. the progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that member states submit under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation. the commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report , including the results in the social dialogue. innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture , if further developed , could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. the commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report.


### (13) those eu fleet-wide targets are to be complemented by the necessary roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as set out in directive 2014/94/eu of the european parliament and of the council27 . ### (13) those eu fleet-wide targets should be complemented by the necessary roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as set as part of the revision of directive 2014/94/eu of the european parliament and of the council27 , which should provide mandatory targets for the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure throughout the 27 member states.

### (14) manufacturers should be provided with sufficient flexibility in adapting their fleets over time in order to manage the transition towards zero-emission vehicles in a cost-efficient manner , and it is therefore appropriate to maintain the approach of decreasing target levels in five-year steps. ### (14) manufacturers should be provided with sufficient flexibility in adapting their fleets over time in order to manage the transition towards zero-emission vehicles in a cost-efficient manner , while considering the need to provide a clear trajectory for the roll-out of these vehicles , ensuring the contribution of the road transport sector to the union's 2030 climate target.


### (15) with the stricter eu fleet-wide targets from 2030 onwards , manufacturers will have to deploy significantly more zero-emission vehicles on the union market. in that context , the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘zlev’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of regulation (eu) 2019/631. the zlev incentive mechanism should therefore be removed as of 2030. before that date and therefore throughout this decade , the incentive mechanism for zlev will continue to support the deployment of vehicles with emissions from zero up to 50 g co2/km , including battery electric vehicles , fuel-cell electric vehicles using hydrogen and well performing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. after that date , plug-in hybrid electric vehicles continue to count against the fleet-wide targets that vehicle manufacturers must meet. ### (15) with the stricter eu fleet-wide targets from 2025 onwards , manufacturers will have to deploy significantly more zero-emission vehicles on the union market. in that context , the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘zlev’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of regulation (eu) 2019/631. the zlev incentive mechanism should therefore be removed altogether , considering the updated targets and the increasing share of sales of zero-emissions vehicles. plug-in hybrid electric vehicles continue to count against the fleet-wide targets that vehicle manufacturers must meet , as long as they can be classified as low-emission vehicles using accurate data on their real-driving emissions.

### (17) the emission reduction effort required to achieve the eu fleet-wide targets is distributed amongst manufacturers by using a limit value curve based on the average mass of the eu fleet of new vehicles and of the manufacturer’s new vehicle fleet. while it is appropriate to maintain this mechanism , it is necessary to prevent that with the stricter eu fleet-wide targets , the specific emission target for a manufacturer would become negative. for that reason , it is necessary to clarify that where such a result occurs , the specific emission target should be set to 0 g co2/km. ### (17) the emission reduction effort required to achieve the eu fleet-wide targets is distributed amongst manufacturers by using a limit value curve based on the average mass of the eu fleet of new vehicles and of the manufacturer’s new vehicle fleet. while it is appropriate to maintain this mechanism until 2025 , after this date this type of flexibility towards heavier vehicles , which consequently are responsible for more emissions , should be deleted. in any case , it is necessary to prevent that with the stricter eu fleet-wide targets , the specific emission target for a manufacturer would become negative. for that reason , it is necessary to clarify that where such a result occurs , the specific emission target should be set to 0 g co2/km.


### (18) in order to ensure a fair distribution of the reduction effort , the two limit value curves for lighter and heavier light commercial vehicles should be adjusted to reflect the strengthened co2 reduction targets. ### deleted
