A key point that Motus-E would like to convey concerns the classification of ZEVs. In this respect, we note that the Commissions proposal for the revision of the CO Regulation introduces a pragmatic approach whereby zero-emission vehicles of category N may be counted as light commercial vehicles when the reference mass minus the mass of the energy storage system remains below 2840 kg.

As a contracting entity that is confronted on a daily basis with the implementation of Directive 2014/25/EU and Directive 2014/23/EU, the EDF Group welcomes the revision and simplification announced by the European Commission.

The new regulatory framework should address the current market needs in order to ensure an efficient batteries’ life cycle management, both from an environmental and economic point of view. From this perspective and as highlighted during the consultation activities, here is what we recommend regarding: extended producer responsibility for second-life, battery recycling, battery design and manufacturing.

Motus-E welcomes the European Commission’s Regulation Proposal and fully supports the measures that aim to ensure a competitive, circular, sustainable and safe value chain for all batteries placed on the internal Union Market, overcoming the barriers to the functioning of recycling industry and the environmental problems related to the production, use and End-of-Life management of batteries.

EDF welcomes the proposal for the new Battery Regulation as an opportunity to create a competitive and sustainable value chain for batteries in Europe in line with the new EU Industrial Strategy and Circular Economy Action Plan. See the full position paper attached

MOTUS-E welcomes the initiative of the Commission to evaluate the Directive 2014/94/EU. We believe the current provisions fail to support the goals of establishing a common framework of measures to mitigate the environmental impact of transport, since many of the alternative fuels allowed in the present release emit CO2 and some of them are pure or derivate fossil fuels.

Motus-e strongly welcomes the European Commission’s Proposal for a Regulation and fully supports the measures that aim to deploy alternative fuels infrastructure as a necessary instrument to reduce emissions from the transport sector in the long term in the European Union.

EDF welcomes the European Commission proposal for a Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels, as part of the “fit for 55” package. The transport sector should indeed decrease its GHG emissions drastically to reach the renewed climate objectives enshrined within the EU Green Deal and carbon neutrality by 2050.
