Conventional pollutant emission limits
Federal Agency for Technical Regulating and Metrology (Ростехрегулирование)
Euro V
All motor vehicles with a “technically permissible maximum laden mass” over 3,500 kg, equipped with compression ignition engines or positive ignition natural gas (NG) or (liquified petroleum gas) LPG engines
History
Russia follows the European Union (EU) system of vehicle tailpipe emission standards, although implementation has been 6-10 years behind the EU. Official Implementation of the Euro track in Russia began with Euro II in 2006. Euro I trucks were encouraged to be introduced as early as 1996, though there was no Governmental Decree and the timetable was not followed by manufacturers.
The Special Technical Regulations on Requirements for Emissions of Hazardous (Polluting) Substances by Vehicles, Resolution No. 609, and its subsequent amendments, establish the timeline for implementation of emission standards. These standards harmonize with EU standards and apply to both imported vehicles and those produced in Russia.
The timeline for the introduction of EU heavy-duty vehicle tailpipe emission standards in Russia is shown in the following table:
| Standard | Implementation Date (new vehicle type approvals) |
Implementation Date (all vehicle sales and registrations) |
Reference Legislation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Euro II | January 2006 | Content equivalent to Ecological Class 2 (ECE R49.02 Stage 2) | |
| Euro III | January 2008 | Content equivalent to Ecological Class 3 (ECE R49.04-A) | |
| Euro IV | January 2010 | January 2013 | Content equivalent to Ecological Class 4 (ECE R49.04-B1) |
| Euro V | January 2014 | January 2016 | Content equivalent to Ecological Class 5 (ECE R49.04-B2 C) |
Technical Standards
MAR-I emission limits are phased in from 2015 to 2019. The implementation dates depend on the power category and type of machinery (construction or farm). Noise emission limits apply from 2015 for certain types of construction machinery with engines rated below 500 kW.
MAR-I Emission Standards for Nonroad Engines
| Rated Power | Date | CO | NOx+HC | PM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| kW | Construction | Farming | g/kWh | ||
| 130 ≤ P ≤ 560 | January 2015 | January 2017 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 0.2 |
| 75 ≤ P < 130 | January 2015 | January 2017 | 5.0 | 4.0 | 0.3 |
| 37 ≤ P < 75 | January 2015 | January 2019 | 5.0 | 4.7 | 0.4 |
| 19 ≤ P < 37 | January 2017 | January 2019 | 5.5 | 7.5 | 0.6 |
Emissions are measured in accordance with ISO 8178-1.
