European emission standards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
European emission standards define the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in EU
member states. The emission standards are defined in a series of European Union directives staging the
progressive introduction of increasingly stringent standards.
Currently, emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO ), total hydrocarbon (THC), non-methane hydrocarbons
(NMHC), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) are regulated for most vehicle types, including
cars, lorries, trains, tractors and similar machinery, barges, but excluding seagoing ships and aeroplanes. For
each vehicle type, different standards apply. Compliance is determined by running the engine at a standardised
test cycle. Non-compliant vehicles cannot be sold in the EU, but new standards do not apply to vehicles
already on the roads. No use of specific technologies is mandated to meet the standards, though available
technology is considered when setting the standards. New models introduced must meet current or planned
standards, but minor lifecycle model revisions may continue to be offered with pre-compliant engines.
In the early 2000s, Australia began harmonising Australian Design Rule certification for new motor vehicle
emissions with Euro categories. Euro III was introduced on 1 January 2006 and is progressively being
introduced to align with European introduction dates.

CO
2
emission
Within the European Union, road transport is responsible for about 20% of all CO
2
emissions, with passenger cars contributing about 12%.
[1]
The target fixed at Kyoto Protocol was an 8% reduction of emissions in all sectors of the economy compared to 1990 levels by 2008-2012.
Relative CO
2
emissions from transport have risen rapidly in recent years, from 21% of the total in 1990 to 28% in 2004,
[1][2][3]
but currently there are
no standards for limits on CO
2
emissions from vehicles.
EU transport emissions of CO
2
currently account for about 3.5% of total global CO
2
emissions.
Obligatory labelling
The purpose of Directive 1999/94/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 December 1999 relating to the availability of
consumer information on fuel economy and CO
2
emissions in respect of the marketing of new passenger cars
[4]
is to ensure that information
relating to the fuel economy and CO
2
emissions of new passenger cars offered for sale or lease in the Community is made available to consumers in
order to enable consumers to make an informed choice.

In the United Kingdom, the initial approach was deemed ineffective. The way the information was presented was too complicated for consumers to
understand. As a result, car manufacturers in the United Kingdom voluntarily agreed to put a more consumer-friendly, colour-coded label displaying
CO
2
emissions on all new cars beginning in September 2005, with a letter from A (<100 CO
2
g/km) to F ( 186+ CO
2
g/km) . The goal of the new
green label is to give consumers clear information about the environmental performance of different vehicles.
[5]
Other EU member countries are also in the process of introducing consumer-friendly labels.
Obligatory vehicle CO2 emission limits
EU Regulation No 443/2009 sets an average CO
2
emissions target for new passenger cars of 130 grams per kilometre. The target is gradually being
phased in between 2012 and 2015. A target of 95 grams per kilometre will apply from 2021.
For light commercial vehicle, an emissions target of 175 g/km applies from 2017, and 147 g/km from 2020.
[6]
Toxic emission: stages and legal framework
The stages are typically referred to as Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 and Euro 5 for Light Duty Vehicle standards. The corresponding series of
standards for Heavy Duty Vehicles use Roman, rather than Arabic numerals (Euro I, Euro II, etc.)
The legal framework consists in a series of directives, each amendments to the 1970 Directive 70/220/EEC.
[7]
The following is a summary list of the
standards, when they come into force, what they apply to, and which EU directives provide the definition of the standard.
Euro 1 (1993):
For passenger cars - 91/441/EEC.
[8]
Also for passenger cars and light trucks - 93/59/EEC.
Euro 2 (1996) for passenger cars - 94/12/EC (& 96/69/EC)
For motorcycle - 2002/51/EC (row A)
[9]
- 2006/120/EC
Euro 3 (2000) for any vehicle - 98/69/EC
[10]
For motorcycle - 2002/51/EC (row B)
[9]
- 2006/120/EC
Euro 4 (2005) for any vehicle - 98/69/EC (& 2002/80/EC)
Euro 5 (2008/9) and Euro 6 (2014) for light passenger and commercial vehicles - 715/2007/EC
[11]

Exhaust gases are far less toxic than
they were years ago.
These limits supersede the original directive on emission limits 70/220/EEC.
The classifications for vehicle category are defined by:
[12]
Commission Directive 2001/116/EC of 20 December 2001, adapting to technical progress Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers
[13][14]
Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheeled
motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC
In the area of fuels, the 2001 Biofuels Directive requires that 5.75% of all transport fossil fuels (petrol and diesel) should be replaced by biofuels by 31
December 2010, with an intermediate target of 2% by the end of 2005. However, MEPs have since voted to lower this target in the wake of new
scientific evidence about the sustainability of biofuels and the impact on food prices. In a vote in Strasbourg, the European parliaments environment
committee supported a plan to curb the EU target for renewable sources in transport to 4% by 2015. They also said that a thorough review would be
required in 2015 before the EU could progress to an 8-10% mark by 2020.
Emission standards for passenger cars
Emission standards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are summarised in the following tables.
Since the Euro 2 stage, EU regulations introduce different emission limits for diesel and petrol vehicles. Diesels
have more stringent CO standards but are allowed higher NO emissions. Petrol-powered vehicles are
exempted from particulate matter (PM) standards through to the Euro 4 stage, but vehicles with direct injection
engines will be subject to a limit of 0.005 g/km for Euro 5 and Euro 6. A particulate number standard (P) or
(PN) is part of Euro 5 and 6, but is not final. The standard is to be defined as soon as possible and at the latest
upon entry into force of Euro 6.
[11]
All dates listed in the tables refer to new type approvals. The EC Directives also specify a second date one
year later which applies to first registration (entry into service) of existing, previously type-approved vehicle
models.

Emission standards for trucks and buses
Whereas for passenger cars, the standards are defined by vehicle driving distance, g/km, for lorries (trucks) they are defined by engine energy output,
g/kWh, and are therefore in no way comparable. The following table contains a summary of the emission standards and their implementation dates. Dates
in the tables refer to new type approvals; the dates for all type approvals are in most cases one year later (EU type approvals are valid longer than one
year).
The official category name is heavy-duty diesel engines, which generally includes lorries and buses.

Enhanced environmentally friendly vehicle
Enhanced environmentally friendly vehicle or EEV is a term used in the European emission standards for the definition of a "clean vehicle" > 3.5
tonne in the category M2 and M3. The standard lies between the levels of Euro V and Euro VI.
Emission standards for non-road mobile machinery
The term non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) is a term used in the European emission standards to control emissions of engines that are not used
primarily on public roadways. This definition included off road vehicles as well as railway vehicles.
European standards for non-road diesel engines harmonize with the US EPA standards, and comprise gradually stringent tiers known as Stage I-IV
standards. The Stage I/II was part of the 1997 directive (Directive 97/68/EC). It was implemented in two stages with Stage I implemented in 1999 and
Stage II implemented between 2001 and 2004. In 2004, the European Parliament adopted Stage III/IV standards. The Stage III standards were further
divided into Stage III A and III B were phased in between 2006 and 2013. Stage IV standards will be enforced in 2014.
Cycle beating
For the emission standards to deliver real emission reductions it is crucial to use a test cycle that reflects real-world driving style. It was discovered that
engine manufacturers would engage in what was called 'cycle beating' to optimise emission performance to the test cycle, while emissions from typical
driving conditions would be much higher than expected, undermining the standards and public health. In one particular instance, research from two
German technology institutes found that for diesel cars no 'real' NO reductions have been achieved after 13 years of stricter standards (2006 report).

As Europe's requirements for its vehicle fleets head toward a goal of 98 grams of CO
2
per kilometer by 2020, Christian Maloney of the German office
of consulting group McKinsey & Co. says the only way the automakers can get there and make money is with plug-in vehicles.
[17][18]
Many EU member states have responded to this problem by exploring the possibility of including electric vehicle-related infrastructure into their existing
road traffic system, with some even having begun implementation. The UK has begun its "plugged-in-places" scheme which sees funding go to several
areas across the UK in order to create a network of charging points for electric vehicles.
