European engine emission standards

EUROPEAN ENGINE EMISSION STANDARDS WHAT IS IT? EURO ENGINE EMISSION STANDARDS WERE INTRODUCED IN THE EARLY 1990S TO REDUCE OTHER POLLUTANTS FROM VEHICLES. THEY HAVE LED TO SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN EMIS- SIONS OF NITROGEN OXIDES, PARTICULATES AND HYDRO- CARBONS FROM PASSENGER CARS, VANS AND TRUCKS. AIR QUALITY FACTS 100 cars produced today to emit one car made in 1970s Vehicles being produced today feature filters that capture over 99% of particulates, resulting in engines that are the cleanest ever produced. A Euro-6 bus emits 95% less NOx 42 million Euro-6 diesel cars to pro- than a Euro-5 bus. duce the same amount of NOx as a large coal-fired power station. Since 2002, buyers choosing diesel Euro 6 emissions to reduce total of cars have saved almost 3 million 84% NOx emissions in diesel cars tonnes of CO2 from going into the atmosphere. since 2000. CO2 NOx NOx LEVELS (NOx Levels by Emission standards) Euro-6 is the sixth version of these standards, and from 1 September, 2015 all new cars must meet its limits. A Euro-6 car produces just a tiny fraction of the pollutants emitted by a Euro-1 car, and much less than those from a Euro-5 car.
