Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation 1. The activity complies with one of the following criteria: (a) vehicles of category N1 have zero direct (tailpipe) CO 2 emissions; (b) vehicles of category N2 and N3 with a technically permissible maximum laden mass not exceeding 7,5 tonnes are ‘zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles’ as defined in Article 3, point (11), of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242; (c) vehicles of category N2 and N3 with a technically permissible maximum laden mass exceeding 7,5 tonnes are one of the following: (i) ‘zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles’, as defined in Article 3, point (11), of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242; (ii) where technologically and economically not feasible to comply with the criterion in point (i), ‘low- emission heavy-duty vehicles’ as defined in Article 3, point (12), of that Regulation. 2. Vehicles are not dedicated to the transport of fossil fuels. Do no significant harm (‘DNSH’) (2) Climate change adaptation The activity complies with the criteria set out in Appendix A to this Annex. (3) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources N/A _____________ ( 239 ) Regulation (EU) No 540/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the sound level of motor vehicles and of replacement silencing systems, and amending Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directive 70/157/EEC (OJ L 158, 27.5.2014, p. 131). ( 240 ) As referred to in Article 4(1), point (b)(ii), of Regulation (EU) 2018/858. ( 241 ) As referred to in Article 4(1), point (b)(iii), of Regulation (EU) 2018/858. ( 242 ) As set out in Regulation (EC) No 595/2009. (4) Transition to a circular economy Vehicles of category N1, N2 and N3 are both of the following: (a) reusable or recyclable to a minimum of 85 % by weight; (b) reusable or recoverable to a minimum of 95 % by weight ( 243 ). Measures are in place to manage waste both in the use phase (main­ tenance) and the end-of-life of the fleet, including through reuse and recycling of batteries and electronics (in particular critical raw materials therein), in accordance with the waste hierarchy. (5) Pollution prevention and control For road vehicles of categories M and N, tyres comply with external rolling noise requirements in the highest populated class and with Rolling Resistance Coefficient (influencing the vehicle energy efficiency) in the two highest populated classes as set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740 and as can be verified from the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL). Vehicles comply with the requirements of the most recent applicable stage of the Euro VI heavy duty emission type-appro­ val ( 244 ) set out in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 595/2009. Vehicles comply with Regulation (EU) No 540/2014. (6) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems N/A
