13 submissions from 13 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission lists 23 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 13 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.
10 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 1 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions. That is 10 industry submissions for every one from civil society.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

ASECAP would like to draw attention on the following points: - The operational implementation of this measure seems particularly complex and its impact highly uncertain. - Yet the clarity and relative simplicity of tariffs are essential to their acceptability.
Einride has extensive knowledge of the electrification of heavy transport and we already see that there is a great interest from the business community in taking a comprehensive approach to this issue. The demand is high and the pace of the rollout will be determined by how quasi-society can support this transition.

Intro: The Commissions proposal is welcome. Reducing tolls for more efficient trailers will reduce energy use and emissions in road transport. It is an important demand-side measure supporting the truck CO2 standards currently under revision, with emission reduction targets for trailers added by the recent proposal.
Transport en Logistiek Nederland (TLN) represents the interests of the Dutch transport and logistics sector. We commend the European Commission's efforts to address the environmental challenges associated with road transport and recognise the aim of the proposal, as trailers have an impact on the energy efficiency of vehicles.

Transport en Logistiek Vlaanderen (TLV) takes note of the Commission’s proposal to include from 2030 the CO2 performance of the trailer or semi-trailer for the charging of a kilometre charge. The objective of this proposal is to reduce CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in the EU. Any measure that reduces the climate impact of freight transport is supported by TLV.

Hello, I represent in Brussels the interests of French road haulage operators (FNTR – Fédération Nationale des Transporters Routiers). We have 5 300 member companies that employ almost 250.000 people in transport and logistics. FNTR finds interesting the proposal to include the CO2 emission class of trailers and semi-trailers in the toll (Eurovignette framework); this could be considered as an incentive.

In principle, we see it as a positive approach that the new proposal for a Directive allows vehicles to be classified in a more favourable tariff category for distance-based tolls. The inclusion of trailers and semi-trailers in the assessment of the CO2 class could provide incentives for the market uptake and market uptake of more energy efficient trailers and semi-trailers, as well as for the use of more energy…

The aim of the proposal is to reduce CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in the EU and to promote the use of more efficient trailers. The Dutch Government supports this objective, but considers the present proposal not to be the appropriate means of achieving it and, moreover, to go beyond what is necessary.

The prospect of restricting the choice of energy carriers could eventually lead us to a dimpasse for transport by heavy goods vehicles, particularly on long-distance journeys. The principle of an energy mix seems necessary, in particular as a credible alternative solution in the short and medium term.

ITD acknowledges the consultation submitted, on which we have the following comments. Making road freight transport as efficient as possible is a major priority for ITD and our members. This is why we are always in favour of new technologies and initiatives as a starting point. For this to be possible, it requires the creation of incentives from the political side that can be easily implemented.

Trucks account for just 2.5% of the vehicles on EU roads, but are responsible for over one quarter of CO2 emissions from road transport. Moreover, heavy-duty road traffic is projected to increase by 44% by 2050.
ANFIA Position Paper -Analysis and Feedback: Proposed Amendments to EU Regulation 2019/1242 for CO Emission Standards in New Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Reporting Obligations, and Repeal of EU Regulation 2018/956 ANFIA has represented the entire Italian automotive industry for more than 110 years.
CEETTAR, the European Organisation of Agriculture, Rural and Forestry Contractors, supports the goal of reducing CO2 emission of heavy-duty vehicles by 90 % by 2040; The sector has been working for years on the optimisation of its performances, by using heavier vehicle types in order to decrease the number of times the vehicle needs to be used at the same place.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
