THE GLOBAL EMISSION STANDARDS EXPERIMENT
Over the next 10 years, emissions standards for fuel economy, CO2, and particulate emissions will squeeze the
industry like never before, forcing adoption of new technology. However, each market has relatively unique criteria for
compliance (drive cycles, test conditions, thresholds, credits and incentives, timing) making harmonization extremely
difficult. This session will call on experts in legislative several areas of the world pertaining to emissions standards as
well as OEM and Tier I suppliers to discuss key questions such as: Is it possible to harmonize standards, ; how are global
technology portfolios being developed and deployed to meet unique competitive and compliance targets per market?
