In November 2022, the European Commission released its proposed Euro 7 regulation for light- and heavy-duty vehicles, which limits the level of pollutants detrimental to human health, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). An ICCT study models the proposed emission reductions and health benefits from implementing Euro 7 with increased stringency and …
Over the last two years, Europe’s increases in online shopping and delivery show no signs of waning. As a result, parcel delivery vehicles make up one of the most significant heavy-duty vehicle segments by volume in Europe, recording a market share of 11% in 2020.

Exhaust from vehicles is a major source of air pollution worldwide. A by the ICCT study links state-of-the-art vehicle emissions, air pollution, and epidemiological models to estimate the impacts of transportation sector emissions on ambient PM and ozone and associated health impacts in 2010 and 2015.
