Euro 5 and 6 emission limits - European Parliament adopts new standards to apply from 2009

The European Parliament has adopted a proposal to set tighter emission limits for cars, in particular nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particles. The new standards, known as Euro 5 and 6, will apply from 1 September 2009, setting tighter emission limits of particles and of NOx for new cars and vans sold in the EU market. Under Euro 5, the emission limit for particulate matters from diesel cars are cut by 80%. This makes the introduction of particle filters for diesel cars obligatory. Euro 6 will set significantly lower emission limits for NOx emissions from diesel cars (68 % lower than the current emission limit) and will enter into force five years after Euro 5, i.e. in 2014.
