As of September 1st 2017, new car models will have to pass new and more reliable emissions tests in real driving conditions (“Real Driving Emissions” – RDE) as well as an improved laboratory test (“World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure” – WLTP) before they can be driven on European roads. Both tests will be phased in for all new cars between 2018-2019.

The new emissions tests will ensure more reliable results and help to rebuild confidence in the performance of new cars.The European LPG Association welcomes this announcement and is confident that the implementation of these new procedures will confirm once again the environmental benefits of Autogas cars. These benefits were put in evidence when the LPG industry proactively and with the support of independent experts, tested the environmental performance of Autogas cars on real journeys, real people take every day. Autogas vehicles bring a 90% PN emissions reduction and a 98% NOx emissions reduction compared with equivalent petrol and diesel models respectively. Cécile Nourigat, Autogas Manager at the AEGPL said: Choosing Autogas means reducing pollution and protecting people’s health, for real.
