The variation of road charges affects investment decisions of transport operators acquiring a new vehicle. It therefore has an effect on the demand side of the market for new heavy-duty vehicles. Heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers constitute the supply side of the same market. They have a CO2 emissions reduction target of 43 % by 2030, as set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council. While efficient conventional vehicles also contribute to the achievement of that target, the wider deployment of zero-emission vehicles is necessary in order to achieve it. The first year when manufacturers are to achieve that target is the reporting period 2030, with a deadline of 30 June 2031.
