What does the new heavy duty CO2 emission regulation say?

The new CO2 regulation implemented by the European Commission leads the change towards a more sustainable freight transportation.

From 2025 on, manufacturers will have to meet new CO2 emissions targets. Various parameters such as tyre rolling resistance will still be calculated using the VECTO tool to simulate fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This is where Michelin can help.

The ‘‘Euro Vignette’’ directive, which governs road tolls for heavy goods vehicles in the EU, was revised in March 2022. EU Member States will be required to set different rates of road tax depending on a truck’s CO2 emission class.

The emission class will be determined by the truck’s VECTO calculation tool for measuring CO2 emissions based on data entered by the manufacturer.
