European Union Emission Standards

European Union Emission Standards are regulations that set limits on the amount of pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide, that vehicles can emit. These standards aim to reduce air pollution and protect environmental and public health. Vehicles must meet specific emission levels depending on their age and type, with stricter limits introduced over time to encourage cleaner technology. Manufacturers are often required to use advanced systems to control emissions, and vehicles are tested regularly to ensure compliance. Essentially, these standards guide the automotive industry towards producing cleaner, more environmentally friendly vehicles.
