European emission standards

The European emission standards are vehicle emission standards that regulate 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 European territorial waters.^[1]^[2] These standards target air pollution from exhaust gases, brake dust, and tyre rubber pollution, and are defined through a series of European Union directives that progressively introduce stricter limits to reduce environmental impact.

Euro 7, agreed in 2024 and due to come into force in 2026,^[3]^[4] includes non-exhaust emissions such as particulates from tyres and brakes.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] Until 2030 fossil fueled vehicles are allowed to have dirtier brakes than electric vehicles.^[9]^: 5
