In the struggle for the reduction of automobile exhaust gases has given a EU court on the complaint of a number of European cities: The EU Commission needs to take back the easing of a regulation.

in response to the exhaust gas scandal, the EU had ordered the Commission of 2016, a new emission test for diesel vehicles on the road rather than in the laboratory. The use of manipulation software should thus be prevented.

For the new emissions tests had increased, the EU Commission, the limit values applicable to the Tests in the laboratory. The tests in the laboratory do not reflect the actual pollutant emissions.

laboratory exhaust measurements do not give the real values in road traffic.

the EU Commission exceeded competence

The EU-court is with this approach but do not quite agree. The Problem: the limit values for The emission tests in the laboratory of the European legislators – the EU had set Parliament and the member States-in a regulation. The main provisions of this regulation shall not modify the EU-Commission is not responsible.

the cities of Paris, Brussels and Madrid had Complained. For the next 14 months, nothing will change but only once, so that legal security is maintained.

In the judgment, it was not about the limit values for nitrogen dioxide within the cities, which were in the past few months, the basis for a variety of Diesel-driving bans.

@pnyx – fraudulent car industry

regulation explained with respect to the higher measurement error tolerances of the exhaust emission values for Diesel, the Euro 6 exhaust standard for partially null and void. That is, the Euro 6 standard Diesel threatens to ban in the cities is also a driving. Then, the fraud software may be exchanged for Exchanged car again :-)…
