Vehicle Emission Class Calculator

Euro emission standards are European regulations that set maximum limits for exhaust emissions from vehicles. They help reduce air pollution and protect public health by ensuring vehicles meet specific emission requirements.

You can find your vehicle's CO2 emissions value in your registration documents, vehicle handbook, or on the manufacturer's certificate of conformity. It's usually expressed in grams per kilometer (g/km).

Vehicles that don't meet current standards may face restrictions in certain areas, higher taxes, or may not be eligible for certain incentives. Some cities have low emission zones that restrict older, more polluting vehicles.

While you cannot change your vehicle's original Euro standard, you can reduce actual emissions through regular maintenance, using quality fuel, and driving efficiently. Some retrofit solutions may be available for certain vehicles.

Euro 6 standards are much stricter than Euro 5, particularly for diesel vehicles. Euro 6 reduced NOx limits by about 55% for diesel cars and introduced particle number limits for both petrol and diesel engines.

Electric vehicles have zero direct exhaust emissions and are typically classified under the highest environmental standards. However, their overall environmental impact depends on the electricity source used for charging.

Euro emission standards are updated approximately every 5-7 years. The progression has been Euro 1 (1992), Euro 2 (1996), Euro 3 (2000), Euro 4 (2005), Euro 5 (2009), Euro 6 (2014), and Euro 7 is planned for the mid-2020s.
