The aim is to make the standard" acceptable for the EU automotive industry and its customers," Kupka said on Twitter.

"We will also discuss recent legislative acts that strongly influence the automotive sector and the future affordability of individual mobility in the EU." Under Euro 7, cars would be permitted to emit no more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides.
