   (2) The automotive sector is an important contributor to the use of energy and material resources by the Union, and hence to the generation of greenhouse gases. The production of vehicles in third countries that are placed on the Union market contributes to the generation of global greenhouse gases, which in turn has a negative environmental impact on the Union. A shift from the use of fossil fuels in vehicles to zero emission mobility, as foreseen in the Fit for 55 package, is one of the prerequisites for reaching the climate neutrality goal in 2050. It will reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from the automotive sector linked to the use phase of vehicles. The automotive industry is on…

   Amendment

   (6a) In order to avoid retroactive application of the requirements, it is important to distinguish between amended type-approvals and new type-approvals. It should therefore be clarified that amendments do not systematically require a new type approval under Regulation (EU) 2018/858.

   Amendment

   (8a) In order to ensure regulatory coherence and to avoid fragmentation in the single market, it is necessary to expand the scope of this Regulation to vehicles falling under categories L1 and L2 as defined in Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a. Vehicles of categories L1e and L2e are not uniformly subject to administrative registration under Council Directive 1999/37/EC1b across Member States, despite being type-approved under Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. That regulatory inconsistency risks creating fragmented national approaches, imposing disproportionate burdens on manufacturers and undermining the competitiveness of the industry.

   (9a) Vehicles designed and constructed or adapted for use by the armed services only as well as vehicles designed and constructed for use by the armed services, civil defence, fire services, forces responsible for maintaining public order and emergency medical services should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. Those vehicles serve specialised operational functions and are subject to specific technical requirements and their design, construction and use differ significantly from those of vehicles intended for general road transport. The application of general circularity requirements for vehicle design and end-of-life management to such vehicles would therefore not be appropriate…

   Amendment

   (9b) In order to preserve Europe’s cultural heritage, vehicles of historical interest should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. Vehicles of special cultural interest should also be able to be excluded from the scope of this Regulation, provided that they are officially recognised as such by the competent authority of the Member State in which they are registered, in accordance with specific criteria. That exclusion should not exempt such vehicles from being kept and handled in an environmentally sound manner, in accordance with applicable Union or national law. Member States should therefore ensure that any vehicle benefiting from such an exemption is managed accordingly.

    (10) Special purpose vehicles are designed to perform a specific function and require special bodywork arrangements which are not entirely under the control of the manufacturer. Consequently, the reusability, recyclability and recoverability rates cannot be calculated properly. For those vehicles only the provisions concerning the collection, depollution and mandatory removal for parts and components should apply. Costs of conducting these activities should be covered by producers within the extended producer responsibility scheme. Provisions concerning substances in vehicles should also apply to special-purpose vehicles, as it is under Directive 2000/53/EC. The second stage manufacturer of…

    Amendment

    (10a) Motor caravans and trailer caravans are distinct from conventional vehicles or trailers, as their primary function is accommodation rather than transportation. Many trailer caravans are permanently fixed in place as holiday homes, used for seasonal accommodation, and remain functional for decades. Those units should not be classified as end-of-life vehicles since they continue to serve as housing, often unregistered, leading to misclassification as missing vehicles. Those caravans are built with non-automotive components like wood, furniture, water systems and household electrical systems, which are outside the scope of vehicle recycling facilities. Given their special-purpose nature,…

    (11) One of the biggest practical challenges related to the application of Directive 2000/53/EC concerns the determination whether or not a vehicle has become an end-of-life vehicle, in particular in cases of transboundary shipments of vehicles. Despite the issuance of guidance46 on this issue, such assessment remains problematic. It is therefore necessary to provide legally-binding precise criteria allowing to determine an end-of-life vehicle. Those criteria should be used by all economic operators and vehicle owners dealing with end-of-life vehicles. __________________ 46 Correspondents' Guidelines No 9 on shipment of waste vehicles,https://ec.europa.eu/environment/pdf/waste/shipments/corr…

    (13) Addressing the design of all vehicles placed on the Union market as well as their end-of-life stage requires the setting up of harmonised circularity requirements verified at the type-approval stage. Designing and manufacturing vehicles to ensure that their parts and components are reusable, and the materials that they contain are recyclable, is essential to avoid that these parts, components and materials cannot be properly valorised when a vehicle reaches the end of its life. Therefore, vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers should integrate design strategies that improve reusability and recyclability at an early stage in the development of new vehicles.

    Amendment

    (13a) Ensuring the reparability of vehicles throughout their lifespan is a fundamental pillar of a truly sustainable and circular automotive economy. Vehicles should not be prematurely classified as end-of-life when they remain repairable, as this would lead to unnecessary waste, economic inefficiencies, and an undue burden on vehicle owners. A vehicle should only be deemed an end-of-life vehicle when it cannot reasonably be restored to meet roadworthiness test requirements and thus presents a safety risk to road users.

    Amendment

    (13b) The longevity of vehicles depends not only on their initial design but also on the availability of affordable and competitive repair and maintenance services. Independent repairers should be able to operate under fair and transparent conditions to ensure that consumers are not solely dependent on manufacturer-controlled repair networks, which could otherwise limit competition, increase costs, and reduce service availability. Barriers to repair, including restrictions on access to spare parts, diagnostic tools, the unjustified linking of parts to a specific vehicle, and technical information, should be prevented to safeguard consumer choice and ensure the efficient use of resources.

    (18) To increase circularity in the automotive sector, vehicles should progressively be designed and manufactured in such a way which incorporates recycled materials instead of primary raw materials. The use of recycled materials allows for a more resource-efficient use of materials, decarbonises production and reduces negative environmental impacts related to the use of primary raw materials. Increased circularity for the vehicles manufactured in third countries that are placed on the Union market will also contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally, including the Union.
