Stricter Euro 7 Levels For HGVs

EUROPEAN Union ministers diluted a European Commission proposal on Euro 7 emission levels for cars and vans, but trucks will still need to meet tougher emission standards, writes Carol Millett.
Under the amendments, the pollution limits for cars and vans would remain the same as under Euro 6. However, limits for HGVs under Euro 7 will be only slightly lowered and test conditions adjusted.
The decision to retain higher emissions for trucks has not been welcomed by manufacturers, who argue that meeting these more stringent emission standards will divert their efforts to make the transition to electric and hydrogen powered vehicles.
The European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission must now negotiate a final agreement on the new regulations.
