Questions and answers on the new ADR 80/04
Euro VI for heavy vehicles
What are the health benefits of the new ADR?
Noxious emissions from road vehicles (such as oxides of nitrogen and particulates) affect the quality of the air we breathe. Prolonged exposure to these air pollutants can increase the risk of heart and lung disease, cancer and premature death.
The new ADR is expected to reduce the burden of disease attributable to noxious emissions from heavy vehicles by $7.4 billion over the period to 2050. These benefits will increase over time as older vehicles are replaced with newer, cleaner vehicles.
