1. European emission standard

The european emission standards are vehicle emission standards for pollution from the use of new land surface vehicles sold in the European Union and European Economic Area member states and the United Kingdom, and ships in EU waters. The standards are defined in a series of European Union directives staging the progressive introduction of increasingly stringent standards.

• Reduce air pollution caused by vehicles.
• Protect public health and the environment.
• Encourage manufacturers to develop cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Control emissions from cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles.
• The standards are divided into 'Euro' categories (Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, etc.), with each level becoming stricter over time.
