Noise limits in the member states of the EEC for four-wheeled motor vehicles.

The current and future noise limits for the different vehicles categories, ranging from passenger cars, mini- buses, buses and coaches to light and heavy goods vehicles are discussed. It is considered that the design cost of meeting the noise limit values for the exhaust system of motor vehicles should not be evaluated in isolation from the cost of reaching the new proposed gaseous emission limits by 1 October 1990.
