The next major wave of European vehicle emissions regulation presents a significant challenge for the automotive and commercial vehicle industries.
Our control and calibration team have been at the forefront of developing methodologies and techniques to measure emissions to Euro 7 emissions regulations and have actively helped to shape the Euro 7/VII legislation through R&D projects.
Our ICE and Calibration engineering experts are supporting customers in readiness for the new emissions standards by assessing current products and development of future products to meet these standards. This includes future emissions testing, hardware selection testing and control technologies, including sensitivity studies to control new pollutants.
