Questions & Answers
What is Euro 7 limit value?▼
The Euro 7 limit value, established under Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, represents the latest mandatory cap on vehicle pollutant emissions in the European Union. Succeeding Euro 6, it significantly broadens the regulatory scope by being the first to govern non-exhaust particle emissions from brake and tire wear. For instance, it sets a brake particle (PM10) emission limit for light-duty vehicles at 7 mg/km until late 2029, tightening to 3 mg/km thereafter. The measurement methodology is based on standards like the Global Technical Regulation (GTR) for brake emissions developed by the UNECE WP.29. In enterprise risk management, Euro 7 constitutes a critical compliance risk, directly impacting a product's access to the EU market.
How is Euro 7 limit value applied in enterprise risk management?▼
To apply Euro 7 limit values in enterprise risk management, firms should follow a structured approach. Step one is **Regulatory Intelligence and Gap Analysis**: Continuously monitor Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 and related GTRs, and conduct a thorough analysis comparing current product performance against the new limits. Step two is **R&D and Supply Chain Adaptation**: Initiate projects to develop low-emission technologies, such as advanced friction materials, and audit suppliers for Euro 7 readiness. Step three is **Compliance Verification and Documentation**: Build in-house testing capabilities or partner with certified labs to validate product compliance. Meticulously document all test data and design changes to support the type-approval process. This systematic approach helps ensure market access and mitigates risks of fines and recalls.
What challenges do Taiwan enterprises face when implementing Euro 7 limit value?▼
Taiwan's automotive component enterprises face several key challenges with Euro 7 implementation. First, **High R&D Costs and Technical Barriers**: The technology for mitigating non-exhaust particles is capital-intensive, a hurdle for Taiwan's SME-dominated supply chain. A solution is to form industry consortia for joint R&D. Second, **Insufficient Testing and Certification Capacity**: Local facilities compliant with new Euro 7 testing protocols are scarce. Companies should plan early to invest in testing equipment or partner with international certification bodies. Third, **Supply Chain Opacity**: The composition of raw materials directly impacts final emissions. Implementing a digital supply chain platform that requires suppliers to provide comprehensive Material Data Sheets (MDS) can create the necessary traceability.
