The Euro 7 regulation, adopted by the Council, sets new emission limits for cars, vans, and trucks, aiming to reduce air pollution from exhaust fumes and brakes. It also introduces stricter rules for battery durability. The regulation will come into force after publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, with varying timelines for different types of vehicles:

- New types of cars and vans will have 30 months to comply, while new cars and vans will have 42 months.
- New types of buses, trucks, and trailers will have 48 months, with 60 months for new buses, lorries, and trailers.
- For new systems, components, or separate technical units to be fitted in vehicles, there will be 30 months for cars and vans, and 48 months for buses, lorries, and trailers.
