The European Union will decide whether to tighten its emissions plans from the new year to get closer to its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030 compared to 1990. As part of this, according to a report in the German newspaper Bild, the remeasurement also new emissions, which may be able to operate millions of diesel passenger cars, even if they comply with Euro standards 5 and 6 according to Euro 5 and 6 standards so made near 2014 older standards should not be met at risk of re-measurement, apparently it is expected that drivers will have to put newer ones in place in the coming years at least.
According to German eFahrer automotive website the measurement of the specified standards could be changed retroactively to the currently internationally recognized WLTP. This means that the amount of emissions in the exhaust gases would be measured when the engine is running, which is more consistent with normal driving, in terms of speed and all the way, for example. However, some older vehicles with Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel engines are still registered under the older NEDC cycle and many are still in service, eFahrer writes.
Euro emission standards
The Euro emission standards are used to scale the values of pollutants in the exhaust gases of combustion engines. The standards are gradually becoming stricter. During the next year, the new Euro 7 standard should come in, which will bring further restrictions on emissions, measuring not only products that come out of the robot, but also, for example, from the brakes.
In Germany alone, the change would affect more than eight million passenger cars, writes Bild. Volker Wissing, the minister of transport there, responded to the news immediately, and expressed that he did not agree with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. “I want the anti-car policy from Brussels to be stopped. People need their cars and they don’t want to take them away,” the minister said in an interview with Bild newspaper.
However, according to the answers available, the possibility that the method of measuring emissions will be changed retroactively and that cars already on the road will have to go to the technical testing laboratory is rather low.
This can be seen, for example, with the letter of the European Commissioner of the Free Market, Thierry Breton, responding to the concerns of the German Minister of Corrections. “The Commission also does not intend to make retroactive changes, impose additional administrative burdens or requirements on car manufacturers, or adopt or support measures that would put citizens who have purchased cars. “
