(2a)






A successful transition to zero-emission mobility requires an integrated approach and the right enabling environment to stimulate innovation and maintain the Union's technological leadership in this sector. This includes public and private investments in research and innovation, the increasing supply of zero- and low-emission vehicles, the roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure, integration into the energy systems, as well as the sustainable materials supply and sustainable production, re-use and recycling of batteries in Europe. It requires coherent action at Union, national, regional and local levels.

Amendment





 










(2c)






A socially acceptable and just transition towards zero-emission mobility should be ensured. It is important, therefore, to take into account the social effects of such transition throughout the whole automotive value chain and to address proactively the implications on employment. Targeted programmes at Union, national and regional levels, such as the development of just transition plans for automotive dependent regions are to be developed in the framework of the Just Transition Mechanism for the re-skilling, up-skilling and redeployment of workers, as well as education and job-seeking initiatives in adversely affected communities and regions, in close dialogue with the social partners and competent authorities. As part of that transition, women's employment, as well as equal opportunities in this sector, should be strengthened.

(4)


The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’) (44) and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’) (45) . 
The reason for having two Regulations was that the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles were checked based on engine testing, while for light-duty vehicles the basis was whole vehicle testing. Since then, methodologies have been developed that allow testing of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road. It is therefore no longer necessary to base type-approval on engine testing.

It is also necessary to reduce complexity, administrative and implementation costs for manufacturers and authorities and to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Euro emission standards. Simplification is achieved by eliminating different application dates for the limits and tests 
which existed under Euro 6 and Euro VI
, by eliminating multiple and complex emission tests where such tests are not needed, by referring to standards under existing UN Regulations where applicable, and by ensuring a streamlined and consistent set of procedures and tests for the various phases of the emission type-approval.

(11)


There are now technologies available and used widely worldwide that limit evaporative emissions of volatile organic compounds during the use, parking and refuelling of a vehicle with petrol fuel. It is therefore appropriate 
to set
 the emission limits for such volatile organic compounds at a lower level and introduce emission limits for the refuelling phase.

There are now technologies available and used widely worldwide that limit evaporative emissions of volatile organic compounds during the use, parking and refuelling of a vehicle with petrol fuel. 
As these technologies are already proven and cost-effectively implemented in other markets and regions,

for the Union to align with other markets by setting
 the emission limits for such volatile organic compounds at a lower level and 
to
 introduce emission limits for the refuelling phase.

Non-exhaust emissions consist of particles emitted by tyres and brakes of vehicles. Emissions from tyres is estimated to be the largest source of microplastics to the environment. As shown in the Impact Assessment, it is expected that by 2050, non-exhaust emissions will constitute up to 90% of all particles emitted by road transport, because exhaust particles will diminish due to vehicle electrification. Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should 
prepare a report on tyre abrasion by
 the end of 
2024 to review
 the measurement 
methods and
 state-of-the-art 
in order to propose
 tyre abrasion limits.

 the measurement 
of tyre abrasion and define abrasion limits based on
 state-of-the-art 
methods in the event that uniform provisions have not been established which refer to the work on tyre abrasion done at UN WP.29 by mid-2026. The Commission should ensure that the UN WP.29 achieves its objectives in a timely manner, reflecting a high level of ambition based on solid scientific and technical grounds. The review should be accompanied by a legislative proposal for vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, to adopt
 tyre abrasion limits 
compatible with the Union’s objective to reduce microplastics released into the environment by 30% by 2030 and based on state-of-the-art abrasion rates

Vehicles with traction batteries, including plugin hybrids and battery electric vehicles, contribute to the decarbonisation of the road transport sector. In order to gain and increase consumer trust in such vehicles, they should be performant and durable. It is therefore important to require that traction batteries retain a good part of their initial capacity after many years of use. That is of particular importance to buyers of second hand electric vehicles to ensure that the vehicle will continue to perform as expected. Monitors of the battery state-of-health should therefore be required for all vehicles that use traction batteries. In addition minimum performance requirements for battery durability of passenger cars should be introduced, taking into account the UN Global Technical Regulation 22 (47) .

Tampering of vehicles to remove or deactivate parts of the pollution control systems is a well-known problem. Such practice leads to uncontrolled emissions and should be prevented. Tampering of the odometer, leads to false mileage and hampers the proper in-service control of a vehicle. It is therefore of the utmost importance to guarantee the highest possible security protection of those systems, complete with security certificates and appropriate anti-tampering protection to ensure that neither pollution control systems nor the vehicle odometer can be tampered with.

Sensors installed on vehicles are already used today to detect anomalies on emissions and trigger related repairs through the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The OBD system currently in use, however, does not detect accurately or timely the malfunctions and neither does it sufficiently and timely 
force
 repairs. As a result, it is possible that vehicles emit much more than they are allowed to do. The sensors used up to now for OBD can also be used to monitor and control the emission behaviour of the vehicles on a continuous basis via an on-board monitoring (OBM) system. The OBM will also warn the user to perform repairs of the engine or the pollution control systems when these are needed. It is therefore appropriate to require that such a system is installed and to regulate its technical requirements.
