The negotiators from Parliament and the Council have reached an agreement on the Euro 7 emissions standard. The limit values and the test regime for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles will be adopted from Euro 6. The limit values for heavy commercial vehicles will be tightened. This applies in particular to the air pollutants nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. In the case of particulate matter, significantly smaller particles – with a diameter of less than ten nanometers – will be recorded in the future.
