The Council of the European Union (EU) this Friday gave the green light to rules to limit pollutant emissions from cars and ensure the longevity of batteries.
The EU Council said in a statement that all vehicles, from cars to trucks, are subject to the Euro 07 regulation.
The regulation formalizes rules for “road vehicle exhaust as well as other types of emissions such as tire abrasion and brake particle emissions,” and will also create requirements for “battery life,” which is also responsible for the emission of polluting particles. .
Nitrous oxide emissions are one of Brussels’ biggest concerns in this regard, so they will also tighten rules on vehicle mileage and lifespan.
This is the last stage of this process and will come into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the EU.
Application periods for the regulation range from 30 months for new commercial vehicles to 60 months for “new systems, components or technical assemblies.”
