Passenger and freight transport is estimated to account for 20% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions, which is why the European Union continues to set new limits on the sector’s emissions. For example, the current regulation provides for a further 15% reduction in CO2 emissions for all vehicles by 2025.
The Euro 7 standard is one of the most anticipated legislations in the automotive industry. It has long been controversial because of its very stringent vehicle emission limits, which for the first time take into account, for example, dusting during brake pad abrasion. For internal combustion cars, it could mean an even faster recall.
More and more green technologies are emerging every year – also in the automotive sector and manufacturing. Public electric transportation, the use of hydrogen and recycling of plastics are just some of the solutions that represent real opportunities for the environment.
Both vehicle manufacturing and vehicle operation are energy-intensive processes. In order to be as efficient as possible in this regard, it is worth paying attention to a number of different issues – including the materials used, which can have a significant impact on energy efficiency.
The final arrangements for the new Euro 7 passenger vehicle emission standard are to be presented in July of this year. The widely discussed regulation will replace the already existing, rather restrictive Euro 6D standard and is expected to impose even stricter emission limits on manufacturers. What does this mean for the passenger car market and what solutions can help comply with the new requirements?
