In this letter to the EU's Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV), T&E outlines its main recommendations on the next step of the new Real-world Driving Emissions (RDE) that will be voted by national experts in December 2016.
T&E is extremely concerned that the outcome will be a poor one for the 87% of EU urban residents afflicted by high levels of particles;1including the half a million that die prematurely. Member States and the Commission appear to have forgotten the acrimonious discussions concerning the second RDE package that is still the subject of a legal challenge.
