Fast Technology reported on December 20 that recently, negotiators from the European Parliament and European Union member states reached an agreement on the new "Euro 7" motor vehicle emission standards.
The new standard will not only cover vehicle exhaust emissions such as nitrogen oxides, but will also introduce emission limits for ultrafine particulate matter from brake and tyre wear for the first time, which means that electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered vehicles will also be included in the Euro 7 emission standard.
It is reported that the European Commission proposed to revise the "Euro 7" emission standards last year, and the standards agreed on the 18th of this month are more lenient than the standards proposed by the European Commission.
According to the data, the Euro 7 standard refers to the Euro 7 emission standard, which was proposed on November 10, 2021, and is known as the most stringent emission standard in the history of the European Union.
Emission standards are mainly aimed at limiting the content of relevant components of automobile exhaust emissions, which contain a variety of pollutants and toxic substances, such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, solid suspended particles, etc.
Two new indicators, ammonia emissions and brake wear, tire wear particles, and the use of all internal combustion engine forms of automobiles, have also extended the time to meet emission limits to 20 years.
The brake wear and tire wear particles are actually for electric vehicles, and the reliability of the power battery capacity is also included in the index, which is 80% for 5 years and 70% for 7 years.
However, after the release of the plan, it caused strong opposition from many car companies, including Volkswagen, Renault, Stellantis Group, etc., and even many *** have also ended.
On September 25 this year, the European Commission adopted a preliminary proposal - agreeing to weaken the intensity of the "Euro 7 emission standard", and the general policy is to retain the existing emission limits and test conditions for light vehicles, and reduce the emission limits for heavy vehicles, with slight adjustments to the test conditions.
It should be added that the Euro VII emission standard will not be implemented immediately, and the time point is 2026-2028, and at that time, I am afraid that many car companies have gradually given up the production of fuel vehicles.
