• The European Commission will produce legislation this year to reduce the limits for exhaust emissions for light commercial vehicles.
The more stringent requirements are due to come into effect from 1997.
The agreed limits for carbon monoxide are 5.17kg/km for Class II vehicles (between 1,250kg and 1,700kg) and 6.9g/km for Class III (1,700kg-3,500kg).
The hydrocarbon/nitrous oxides limits are 1.4g/km and 1.7g/km respectively; the limits for particulates are 0.19g/km and 0.2.5g/km.
