T&E and a coalition of organisations are urging European lawmakers to use the revision of the ‘roadworthiness package’ to address the legacy of Dieselgate and remove millions of suspiciously high-emitting cars from Europe’s roads. T&E, alongside UNEP, ETSC, CMC and OPUS RSE call for systematic fleet screenings and roadside inspections based on real-world emissions, yearly technical inspections for vehicles over 10 years old, and mandatory fixes or scrappage of high-emitting cars at the expense of manufacturers. It also calls on the EU to strengthen safety checks and to stop the export of high-polluting and unsafe used vehicles to other regions.
