THE EUROPEAN Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) has welcomed the latest plans from the European Commission (EC) for cleaner trucks, but warns it will need time to develop the technology needed.
The EC will now send its proposals for the Euro-6 emission standard to the European Parliament for approval: the timetable for implementation has yet to be decided.
Ivan Hociac, secretary general of the ACEA, says: "The EC has adopted the most stringent set of emission limits for Euro-6 and they will be a technical challenge requiring substantial development effort and investment. Industry needs time to recoup investment in Euro-5 products and adequate lead time before Euro-6 becomes mandatory."
The ACEA says Euro-6 will cut nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions by 95% and 98% respectively compared with the Euro-1 standard, which the ELI introduced for trucks in 1991 .
