The protection of air quality and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a priority for the European Commission. Emission standards are currently in place for light–duty (cars, vans) and heavy-duty vehicles (lorries, buses), and for non-road mobile machinery. The Commission also encourages technological development to help protect the environment and reduce air pollution.
In September 2017, the Commission introduced an improved mandatory car emissions test to reduce vehicle emissions. In November 2018 the Commission adopted a new proposal to improve the tests.
