Euro-7 emission standards will not be as strict as previously planned. This decision was made this week in Brussels by the member states of the European Union.
The EU countries, under the presidency of Spain, discussed in detail the Euro-7 emissions standard and decided to relax the future norms. Accordingly, the EU has not changed its position on the existing emission limits and test conditions for light commercial vehicles.
However, lower emission limits and slightly modified test conditions will apply to heavy goods vehicles. In addition, it is planned to develop special rules for city buses.
In addition, there must be limits on non-exhaust emissions, such as particulate matter from brakes and tires. Minimum requirements for the service life of electric vehicle batteries and stricter requirements for the service life of cars will also be established.
Europe is known around the world as a producer of high-quality, low-emission cars. We want to continue striving to improve air quality. We want to continue moving along the mobility path of the future and set realistic emission levels for the cars of the next decade, helping our industry to make the final leap towards environmentally friendly cars in 2035”, emphasized Hector Gómez Hernández, Acting Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism.
He added that the Spanish presidency considered various proposals from member states and took into account all requestsWe managed to achieve broad support, balance the investment costs of the manufacturer brands and increase the environmental benefits of the regulation", - added Hector Gomez Hernandez.
