Vehicles Emissions Regulation 2007
The Vehicles Emissions Regulation 2007 (EC) No 715/2007 is an EU Regulation that sets maximum levels of toxic emissions from motor vehicles.[1] Since the introduction of the Euro 1 emission standard, the law has been tightened towards the EU's phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035. Member states may act sooner, as may the EU.
