BackThe proposal is for a Regulation that regulates emission values, the type approval and the market surveillance of internal combustion engines in non-road machinery and equipment. The key point of the proposal is the specification of a new emission level (“Stage V”), which, depending on the engine category, will come into force between 2018 and 2021 for type approval and placing on the internal market. This Regulation shall affect working equipment, railway vehicles, inland waterway vessels, auxiliary engines, generators, construction machinery and also snowmobiles, off-road and side-by-side vehicles (consequently, the NRMM sector).
Agricultural and forestry vehicles are also indirectly affected, as Reg 167/2013 has to take emission values into account from this Regulation. According to the Commission, the NRMM sector is responsible for around 15% of all nitrogen oxide emissions and 5% of all particulate matter emissions in the EU.
