A directive of the European Union, this new emission standard primarily sets lower maximum values for vehicle emissions of particulates and nitrogen oxide. For diesel engines, the old standard stipulated a maximum of 180 mg per kilometer. As of September 1, 2015, diesel engines will be restricted to just 80 mg of nitrogen oxide emissions per kilometer (gasoline engines: 60 mg per kilometer).
