Legislation for Sustainable Mobility

Standards aimed at limiting pollutant emissions from road vehicles have been in place in Europe since the 1990s. These have helped improve air quality and public health. The European Commission is introducing the next stage of these ‘Euro standards’, Euro 7, in 2024. Implementation dates will depend on the type of vehicle.

CO₂ Vehicle Emission Standards have helped reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by vehicles in order to slow the rate of climate change. Limits are being introduced separately for light-duty (cars and vans) and heavy-duty (mainly trucks and buses) vehicles.
