Mexico proposes new heavy-duty vehicle emission standards aligned with Euro VI and EPA 2010

Green Car Congress

The current limit values in Mexico are equivalent to Euro IV or EPA 2004 standards. Final adoption of the standard will virtually eliminate fine particle and black carbon emissions from new diesel trucks. Avoided emissions in that year will total 24,000 tons of PM 2.5 , 17,000 tons of black carbon, and 410,000 tons of NO x.
