European emission standards are sets of requirements defining the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in EU member states. The emission standards are defined in a series of European Union directives staging the progressive introduction of increasingly stringent standards.

Currently, emissions of NOX, HC, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter are regulated for most vehicle types, including cars, lorries, trains, tractors and similar machinery, barges, but excluding seagoing ships and airplanes. For each vehicle type, different standards apply. Compliance is determined by running the engine at a standardised test cycle. Noncompliant vehicles cannot be sold in the EU, but new standards do not apply to vehicles already on the roads. No use of specific technologies is mandated to meet the standards, though available technology is considered when setting the standards.

Vehicle CO₂ emissions

Relative Carbon dioxide emissions from transport have risen rapidly in recent years, from 21% of the total in 1990 to 28% in 2004 ^[1], but currently there are no standards for CO₂ emission limits. In order to meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article requires cleanup. ...

The CO₂ emission limits are nowadays subject to a voluntary agreement between the EU and the automanufacturers (see ACEA agreement). The ultimate EU target with voluntary agreements are to contribute, is to reach an average CO2 emission (as measured according to Commission Directive 93/116/EC) ^[2] of 120 g/km for all new passenger cars by 2012. The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. ... The ACEA agreement refers to a voluntary agreement between the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) and the European Commission to limit the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by passenger cars sold in Europe. ...

However, as it becomes increasingly clear that the agreement will not deliver (having achieved only 160 g/km in 2005, from 186 g/km in 1995) lawmakers have started considering regulation. A legislator is a person who writes and passes laws, especially someone who is a member of a legislature. ...

In late 2005, the European Parliament ^[3] passed a resolution in support for mandatory CO₂ emission standards to replace current voluntary commitments by the automanufacturers and labelling. Established 1952, as the Common Assembly President Hans-Gert Pöttering (EPP) Since 16 January 2007 Vice-Presidents 14 Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou (EPP) Alejo Vidal-Quadras (EPP) Gérard Onesta (Greens – EFA) Edward McMillan-Scott (ED) Mario Mauro (EPP) Miguel Angel Martínez Martínez (PES) Luigi Cocilovo (ALDE) Mechtild...

In late 2006, in response to a new report, by the European Federation for Transport and Environment ^[4] documenting lack of progress on the voluntary targets, the European Commission announced that it was working on a proposal for legally-binding limit CO2 emissions from cars. ^[5] According to the mentioned European Federation for Transport and Environment study, Fiat is the best performer in Europe. The European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) is a European umbrella for non-governmental organisations working in the field of transport and the environment, promoting sustainable transport in Europe; which means an approach to transport that is environmentally responsible, economically sound and socially just. ...

Fiat S.p. ...

On 7th February 2007 the European Commission published its key draft proposal (COM 2007 0019) EC legislation to limit average CO2 emissions from the European fleet of cars to 120g CO2/km. Some people interpreted this as meaning that all manufacturers would have to average 120g for their fleet, but this is not the case. Some volume manufacturers of smaller cars such as Fiat, Renault and Peugeot-Citroen are already quite close to the target whilst smaller volume manufacturers of higher emissions cars such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Saab and Porsche are a long way from reaching this target. not surpisingly the french manufacturers want a blanket target whereas the German manufacturers feel a blanket target would destroyt their industries. Whatever the likely outcome of the final legislation (likely in in late 2007 /early 2008), if the intention is to truly bring down CO2 emission from the whole Euopean fleet then the legislation has to require all manufacturers to pull their weight and all reduce their emissions by similar amounts.

The environmental group (T&E) insists on the need for a longer-term target that doubles fuel efficiency of new cars over the next decade, 80 g/km by 2020. ^[6] Fuel efficiency sometimes means the same as thermal efficiency, that is, the efficiency of converting energy contained in a carrier fuel to kinetic energy or work. ...

Fuel emission: stages and legal framework

The stages are typically referred to as Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 and Euro 5 for Light Duty Vehicle standards. The corresponding series of standards for Heavy Duty Vehicles use Roman, rather than Arabic numerals (Euro I, Euro II, etc.)

The legal framework consists in a series of directives, each amendments to the 1970 Directive 70/220/EEC [3]. Here is a summary list of the standards, when they come into force, what they apply to, and which EU directives provide the definition of the standard.

• Euro 1 (1993):
  • For passenger cars - 91/441/EEC ^[7].
  • Also for passenger cars and light trucks - 93/59/EEC.
• Euro 2 (1996) for passenger cars - 94/12/EC (& 96/69/EC)
• Euro 3 (2000) for any vehicle - 98/69/EC ^[8]
• Euro 4 (2005) for any vehicle - 98/69/EC (& 2002/80/EC)
• Euro 5 (2008/9) for any vehicle - (COM(2005) 683 - proposed)^[9]

These limits supersede the original directive on emission limits 70/220/EEC. Light truck is a vehicle classification generally used by the United States government for regulating fuel economy and safety. ...

Emission standards for passenger cars

Exhaust is much less harmful today than it was a decade ago, thanks to emission standards.

Emission standards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are summarized in the following tables. Since the Euro 2 stage, EU regulations introduce different emission limits for diesel and gasoline vehicles. Diesels have more stringent CO standards but are allowed higher NOx. Gasoline vehicles are exempted from PM standards through the Euro 4 stage (Euro 5 proposal introduces PM standards for lean-burning gasoline cars).

Cycle beating

For the emission standards to deliver real emission reductions it is crucial that the test cycles under which the emissions have to comply as much as possible reflect normal driving situations. It was recently discovered that engine manufacturers would engage in what was called 'cycle beating' to optimize emission performance to the test cycle, while emissions from typical driving conditions would be much higher than expected, undermining the standards and public health. In one particular instance, recent research from two German technology institutes found that for diesel cars no 'real' NOx reductions have been achieved after 13 years of stricter standards[4].
