At the present time, there is no legal regulation in Europe for the fuel consumption or CO2 emissions of diesel engines in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, unlike as for passenger cars. The European Union is now monitoring current truck CO2 emissions using the VECTO tool, however, so that data will be available as a basis for future regulations. Fuel consumption is also one of the most important features of a truck, as it largely determines the operating costs.
