Automotive Emissions Standards

Automotive emissions standards are regulations that limit the amount of pollutants a vehicle can emit into the air, aiming to reduce air pollution and protect public health. These standards set specific limits for pollutants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Car manufacturers must design their vehicles to meet these limits through improved engine technology and emission control systems. Standards vary by country and are regularly updated to encourage cleaner, more efficient vehicles. Overall, they ensure vehicles operate more environmentally friendly, helping to reduce smog, respiratory issues, and environmental damage.
