The current limit values in Mexico are equivalent to Euro IV or EPA 2004 standards. The cost-benefit analysis for the proposal, done in part using the ICCT Roadmap Model Health Module, found that in the year 2037 the new standards will prevent 6,800 premature deaths from exposure to PM 2.5 emissions in urban areas.

It is not acceptable that MAN, Volvo/Renault, Daimler, Iveco and DAF, which together account for around 9 out of every 10 medium and heavy trucks produced in Europe, were part of a cartel instead of competing with each other. This is also a clear message to companies that cartels are not accepted. This was complemented by phone conversations.

Consequently, gasoline-power vehicles pollute the most when the engine is first turned on in the morning after being off for many hours. This high-pollution moment is referred to as a cold start. However, it’s possible for plug-in hybrids to have several of these high-pollution moments in a single afternoon of driving.
