SG: New diesels to meet Euro 6 emission regulations from 2018

The NEA has announced that new diesel vehicles sold from 2018 onwards must comply with the Euro 6 emission standard. The stricter requirements should help to lessen the amount of air pollutants present in the atmosphere. Euro 6 is currently the highest vehicular emission standard set out by the European Union. Whilst importers of diesel vehicles have 3 years to sort out their current inventory, dealers of petrol vehicles do not have the luxury, for Singapore will adopt the new emission standards in late 2017 for petrol vehicles.
