EURO I & II
What are Emission Norms?
Emission norms are prescribed CO (Carbon Monoxide), HC (Hydrocarbons) and NOX(Nitrous oxide) levels set by the government which a vehicle would emit when running on roads. All the manufacturers need to implement the same for vehicles being manufactured from the date of implementation.
What are Euro Norms?
Euro norms refer to the permissible emission levels from both petrol and Diesel vehicles, which have been implemented in Europe. However in India, the government has adopted the Euro norms for available fuel quality and the method of testing. Euro-1 norms in India are known as INDIA 2000 since it will be implemented from 1/4/2000. The norms equivalent to Euro-2 are called 2005 norms but these have not yet been specified by the Indian Government.
WHAT ARE THE EURO I AND EURO II NORMS?
The Euro norms require manufacturers to reduce the existing polluting Emission Levels in a more efficient manner by making certain technical changes in their vehicles.

WHAT CHANGES DO MANUFACTURERS HAVE TO MAKE IN ORDER TO MAKE EURO COMPLIANT VEHICLES?
The following changes normally will be made by manufacturers in order to have a EURO I compliant car. Typically, the following areas would require attention: (a) carburetor retuning (b) secondary air intake (c) exhaust gas recirculation (d) catalyser capacity increase (e) trimetal coating in the catalyser.
Changes for having a Euro II compliant vehicle require that the carburetor be replaced by an MPFI system i.e. a Multi-pointFuel Injection System. There are two basic types of engines, spark ignition and compression ignition engines. In the former, fuel ignition is triggered by an electric spark from a spark plug, while in the latter, atomized liquid fuel is injected with the help of a fuel pump and a nozzle into a cylinder full of hot compressed air, which results in ignition taking place. Larger cylinders which need more fuel require more than one injector, thus resulting in a multi-point fuel injection system.
WHO CERTIFIES THE MANUFACTURER?
The Automobile Research Institute (ARAI), Pune, is an independent third party assessor that issues a third party authenticity certificate guaranteeing the euro norm compliance by the manufacturer.
