AIR QUALITY: New Euro 5 and 6 Emission Standards are Extremely Challenging

2006-12-13T03:31:00Z

The stringent limit values for nitrogen oxide and particulate matter set in the Euro 5 and 6 proposals affirmed today in the European Parliament are extremely challenging for the European automotive industry to comply with. “The European car industry will do its utmost to meet the extremely ambitious targets within the set time frame”, said Ivan Hodac, secretarygeneral of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA). “What concerns us, is that the proposed limit values will not only be extremely difficult to meet, but will have a significant counter-productive effect on reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars. They also pose a serious risk for the market of small diesel cars.” Sales of diesel cars had reached 50,3% in the first 9 months of 2006, compared to 14,6% in 1991.

ACEA, the Association of European Car Manufacturers, has been closely following the current legislative process concerning the improvement of air quality via a reduction of emissions of passenger cars, particularly nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter. Whereas improving air quality is an issue of undisputed nature, the European car industry strongly advocates proper and transparent impact assessments to achieve results in a cost-effective way for both environment and industry. This was also recommended by the High-level Group CARS21 which dealt with improving the competitiveness of the industry whilst addressing other important interests of society, such as road safety and the environment. ...
