Euro Six and Euro Seven Emissions Standards Inquiry

Zali Steggall MP questioned the difference between Euro six and Euro seven emissions standards. Tristan Kathage explained that Euro seven is a more comprehensive standard, measuring tyre efficiency and applying to both heavy and light vehicles, which leads to better emissions reduction through transport. The discussion underscored the importance of adopting stricter emissions standards in Australia, with Euro seven already in effect in Europe from April 2024. While Euro seven is a significant upgrade from Euro six, its suitability for Australia is still being assessed. It may be too early to adopt Euro seven without further evaluation, and its widespread adoption in other countries, such as China, is yet to be determined.
