The EU already has one of the most comprehensive and stringent approaches to pollutant emissions globally. State-of-the-art technology means that exhaust emissions are barely measurable.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The latest standards \u2013 Euro 6\/VI \u2013 were introduced from 2014. Since then, extra steps have been taken as part of Euro 6 for cars and vans to further reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particle pollutant emissions under real driving conditions. Emissions measured on the road using portable emission measuring systems (PEMS) are now at a barely measurable level. Euro VI strengthened particle number (PN) limits and expanded the test conformity procedures, also delivering low emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China, Japan, and the United States also have regulations to reduce vehicle emissions, but they are not as strict as those in the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the US approach is less stringent than the EU’s in a number of instances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
