Mexico: Update of an emissions standard for heavy-duty vehicles

 

Mexico has published a draft update of its emission standard:

Official Mexican Standard NOM-044-SEMARNAT-2006, which establishes the maximum permissible emission limits of total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particles from the exhaust of new engines that use diesel as fuel and that will be used for the propulsion of new motor vehicles with gross vehicle weight greater than 3,857 kilograms.

The update is modifying the validity of the period established in the notes of tables 1, 2 and 4, of sections 4.1 and 4.2, by making it void, but only with regard to the AA Standards, of the Mexican Official Standard NOM-044-SEMARNAT-2017.
