STANSTEAD, U.K. – The upcoming Euro 7 emission standards will be a prime topic throughout EuroBrake 23 beginning with the event’s keynote address, then moving to the recently confirmed strategy panel on “Effects of the EU7 regulation on brake system development and homologation.”
EuroBrake, the annual gathering of the leading brake-industry individuals and organizations, sponsored by FISITA, runs from Sept. 12-14, 2023, in Barcelona. The aforementioned-plenary keynote presentation is scheduled for 9:10-9:45 a.m. Sept. 12th.
The new Euro 7 standards rules will be the first worldwide emission standards to move beyond regulating exhaust pipe emissions and set additional limits for particulate emissions from brakes and rules on microplastic emissions from tires.
