The Euro 7 emissions standard will be applied for the first time in the second half of 2026 at the earliest. It will first be applied to new models of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles for which manufacturers must apply for a new type approval. The new rules will apply to these vehicles 30 months after Euro 7 comes into force, according to the document in which the Spanish Council Presidency sets out the key points of the political agreement reached between the Council and Parliament on Dec. 18. The document is available to Table.Media.
