Change Text for BT-725 (Zero Emission Vehicles)
When submitting the fields BT-723 (Vehicle Category), BT-725 (Zero Emission Vehicles), BT-716 (Clean Vehicles), BT-715 (Vehicles) as defined in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2884, which fulfil aspects of Directive 2009/33/EC (CVD), these are always submitted in the XML structure as a tuple together with vehicle-category. For example as follows:
<efac:StrategicProcurement>
<efac:StrategicProcurementInformation>
<efbc:ProcurementCategoryCode listName="cvd-contract-type">veh-acq</efbc:ProcurementCategoryCode>
efac:ProcurementDetails>
<efbc:AssetCategoryCode listName="vehicle-category">m1</efbc:AssetCategoryCode>
<efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
<efbc:StatisticsCode listName="vehicles">vehicles-zero-emission</efbc:StatisticsCode>
<efbc:StatisticsNumeric>2</efbc:StatisticsNumeric>
</efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
<efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
<efbc:StatisticsCode listName="vehicles">vehicles-clean</efbc:StatisticsCode>
<efbc:StatisticsNumeric>2</efbc:StatisticsNumeric>
</efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
<efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
<efbc:StatisticsCode listName="vehicles">vehicles</efbc:StatisticsCode>
<efbc:StatisticsNumeric>2</efbc:StatisticsNumeric>
</efac:StrategicProcurementStatistics>
</efac:ProcurementDetails>
</efac:StrategicProcurementInformation>
</efac:StrategicProcurement>
In this way, values for BT-725 (Zero Emission Vehicles), BT-716 (Clean Vehicles) and BT-715 (Vehicles) can be transmitted for any codes in BT-723(Vehicle Category).
However, the field name and explanation displayed on TED (as definied in https://github.com/OP-TED/eForms-SDK/blob/develop/codelists/vehicles.gc (and translations in files code_de.xml, code_en.xml, code_it.xml etc.)) does not always correctly match the content. This should be corrected!
The number of BT-725 (Zero Emission Vehicles) is always displayed with text „The number of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles“ even when corresponding value in BT-723 (Vehicle Category) is not a heavy-duty vehicle. This leads to misunderstandings among users.
Please change text to „The number of zero-emission vehicles“ in English language, and in German language change text from „Zahl emissionsfreier schwerer Nutzfahrzeuge“ to „Zahl emissionsfreier Fahrzeuge“ and accordingly for all other languages.
Although only number of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles need to be reported to cover Directive 2009/33/EC (CVD), a submission of number of zero-emission vehicles should also be permitted for all vehicle categories and these should then also be displayed clearly with correct texts. Otherwise, the submission of BT-725 (Zero Emission Vehicles) for vehicle categories that are not heavy-duty vehicles (i.e. not M3, N2 or N3) would have to be prohibited by a rule.
