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 OJ L 198, 25.7.2019, p. 202, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1242/oj. , 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:

ANNEX Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 is amended as follows: (1) point 1.1.1 is replaced by the following: 1.1.1. For heavy-duty vehicles of category N, the vehicle sub-group sg is defined as follows: For the calculation of vehicle shares and average specific CO2 emissions of manufacturers of reporting periods of the years 2030 to 2034 in accordance with points 2.4 and 2.7, respectively, zero-emission vocational vehicles of category N shall be attributed as follows: Zero-emission vocational vehicle in vehicle sub-groupAttributed to vehicle sub-group53v531sv1s1v12v23v34v4-UD5v5-RD9v9-RD10v10-RD11v1112v1216v16 Vehicle group pursuant to Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400Cab typeEngine powerOperational range (OR)Vehicle sub-group (sg) attributed for the purposes of this RegulationVehicles other than vocational vehiclesVocational vehicles53 and zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in 51All5353v54 and zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in 52All54—1sAll1s1sv1All11v2All22v3All33v4All< 170 kWAll4-UD4vDay cab≥ 170 kWAll4-RDSleeper cab≥ 170 kW and < 265 kWSleeper cab≥ 265 kW< 350 kmSleeper cab≥ 265 kW≥ 350 km4-LH5Day cabAllAll5-RD5vSleeper cab< 265 kWSleeper cab≥ 265 kW< 350 kmSleeper cab≥ 265 kW≥ 350 km5-LH9Day cabAllAll9-RD9vSleeper cabAll< 350 kmSleeper cabAll≥ 350 km9-LH

Day cab means a type of cab that is not a sleeper cab. Where a new heavy-duty vehicle is attributed to vehicle sub-group 4-UD, but data on the CO2 emissions in g/km are not available for the UDL or UDR mission profiles as defined in point 1.4, the new heavy-duty vehicle shall be attributed to vehicle sub-group 4-RD. Operational range means the distance a heavy-duty vehicle can travel under long haul transport conditions without being re-charged or re-filled, as provided for in point 1.3. Where, for a heavy-duty vehicle falling in group 11, 12 or 16, the information regarding TPMLM referred to in Article 3(25), point (c), is not available, that vehicle shall be attributed to vehicle sub-groups 11-EHC, 12-EHC and 16-EHC on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 3(25), points (a) and (b) only.; (2) point 2.1.1 is replaced by the following: 2.1.1.
