            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/1045
of 20 May 2025
         
amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the addition of vehicle sub-groups for extra-heavy-combination lorries
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and amending Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC (1), and in particular Article 14(1) points (a), (e), (f) and (g), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


If employed under appropriate operational and regional conditions, extra-heavy combination lorries (‘EHC lorries’) defined in Article 3(25) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242, may show lower CO2 emissions per mileage travelled and payload transported, expressed in lower values of gCO2/t•km, than other vehicle combinations.












(2)


Such lower values of gCO2/t•km should be reflected in the calculation of compliance with the CO2 emissions targets provided for in Article 3a(1) points (b), (c) and (d) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 by adding separate vehicle sub-groups for EHC lorries.












(3)


Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1

Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242

Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.


Article 2

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 20 May 2025.


For the Commission


The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN
