UPTO 25% OF THE heavy vehicles operating in the public sector will have to comply with European EEV (enhanced environmental vehicle) emission standards. under new Brussels proposals The previously non-mandatory EEV limits, which are tougher than Euro-5 on particulates, smoke and (for gas engines) tailpipe methane. were first announced in 1999 as a basis for local 'extra-clean exhaust incentive schemes But until now they have not figured in legislation proposals Implementation dates for the scheme have yet to be released. but the European Commission warns that the EEV limits will cover private-sector trucks and buses working under contract to government departments or local authorities as well as those directly owned by such bodies The EC adds that one aim of the proposals is "to establish a viable market by creating sufficient demand to generate economies of scale-. It reports that about 52,000 trucks and buses above 3.5 tonnes G VW are put into service each year by public bodies in the EU.
A 25% EEV compliance rate would equate to 13,000 vehicles a year being required to meet the stricter emission limits The total extra cost of meeting the enhanced standards is put at El .61in over 15 years.
• Transport for London (TfL) has launched its consultation over the proposed Low Emission Zone (LEZ) for the city.
Currently the plans are that all trucks entering London will have to comply with Euro-3 from 2008.and Euro4 from 2010. The scheme may al extended to vans from subject to further analysis.
AN PR cameras would t to monitor the zone.
