Summary

Due to the high proportion of NOX emissions generated by road traffic, current and future legislation on NOX limits has a major impact on the automotive industry. In Europe this includes not only the more stringent annual average NO2 emissions in urban areas, but also the proposed NOX limits of 80 mg/km for EU6 passenger cars and 400 mg/kWh for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The US has passed similar legislation in the form of US BIN 5 for passenger cars and US2 010 for heavy-duty trucks.
