Significant progress has been made in the EU on reducing air pollution from vehicles, under the current Euro 6\/VI standards. Euro 7 is unlikely to make much more of an impact, and may even be counterproductive as it risks slowing down fleet renewal.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Between 2014\u20132020, Euro 6\/VI standards delivered a 25% cut in total nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from cars and vans on EU roads and a 36% cut from heavy-duty vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impact of Euro 6\/VI is being held back by the high proportion of older vehicles still in circulation. For instance, eight years after Euro VI, pre-Euro VI trucks still account for three-quarters of the total trucks on EU roads and 92% of NOx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Euro 7 proposal would only reduce road transport NOx emissions by less than 4% for cars and vans (compared to Euro 6 levels) and by about 2% for trucks. But it will entail significant human and financial resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without tackling the older vehicles, Euro 7 will have a barely perceptible impact on road transport NOx emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
