Article 1 Subject matter and objective

F1In order to contribute to the United Kingdom’s target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement F2... this Regulation sets CO₂ emission performance requirements for new heavy-duty vehicles whereby the specific CO₂ emissions of the F3UK fleet of new heavy-duty vehicles shall be reduced compared to the reference CO₂ emissions as follows:

1. (a)

   for the reporting periods of the year 2025 onwards by 15 %;

2. (b)

   for the reporting periods of the year 2030 onwards by 30 %, unless decided otherwise pursuant to the review referred to in Article 15.

The reference CO₂ emissions shall be based on the monitoring data reported pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/956 for the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 (‘the reference period’), excluding vocational vehicles, and shall be calculated in accordance with point 3 of Annex I to this Regulation.
