CITA welcomes the introduction of Euro 7/VII to further reduce emissions from road transport, making another important contribution to improving the environment. In particular, the expansion of the relevant real-world driving situations, the limitation of other, previously unrestricted pollutants, as well as the inclusion of non-exhaust emissions and specifications for the durability of traction batteries are very welcome.
