NOISE LIMITS IN THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EEC FOR FOUR-WHEELED MOTOR VEHICLES

This paper discusses the current and future noise limits for the different vehicle categories, ranging from passenger cars, mini-buses, buses and coaches to light and heavy goods vehicles. The author considers 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.
