EU Parliament wants cars to meet NOx emissions limits from 2022 onward

Brussels, Sep 17 (UNI) The European Parliament declared on Thursday cars in Europe will have to meet EU limits on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions under real driving conditions instead of laboratory ones starting September 2022.
Earlier in the day, the parliament approved the European Commission's proposal to reintroduce legal exemptions on NOx emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles for the type approval of cars tested in real driving conditions to meet the terms of the EU General Court ruling of December 13, 2018.
Sputnik quoted the parliament in a statement saying "To reduce NOx emissions, Parliament wants the conformity factor currently in place to be annually lowered, based on assessments by the Joint Research Centre. After being immediately lowered from 1.43 to 1.32, it should be gradually reduced and cease to apply by 30 September 2022, after which only the raw data from tests carried out under real driving conditions would be used to determine compliance with EU emission limits,"
