Make Your Voice Heard On Euro-6 Proposals

摘要

So you have been asked to prepare a presentation for your company's board of directors on what is being done in terms of vehicle specification, operation and maintenance to shrink the organisation's carbon footprint and control costs. What do you imagine it would do for your career prospects if the essence of your presentation was that fuel economy is going to worsen on average by about eight per cent and the capital cost of each vehicle is going to rise by several thousand pounds? Oh and by the way, maintenance costs are going up by at least ￡140 per vehicle. Hardly bears thinking about, does it? But you would be well advised to think carefully about it, and quickly, because this is what could be the consequence if European Commission proposals on Euro-6 exhaust emission limits for trucks and buses are given the green light (page 6).
