Heavy vehicles are also part of the European plan to reduce CO₂ emissions, and for the first time, representatives of Parliament and the European Council have reached an agreement that affects trucks, coaches and buses. The new regulations will monitor and control the emissions and fuel consumption data of new vehicles.
This is the first time that European legislation has targeted heavy vehicles, and is doing so within a strategy of sustainable mobility and low carbon emissions. The manufacturers will control and inform about the levels of emissions of the new registered vehicles, levels that will be determined by the VECTO (Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool) tool.
