USA FIAT's Emissions

[HunterARFOM]

Hi guys, i have a customer moving from the USA to France and is asking whether or not her FIAT 500c will be up to their emissions codes. I've asked the car nuts here at the dealership i work at but we cant seem to get anywhere so if anyone has any insight on this subject please let me know ASAP. I know the US emission codes are more strict than Euro spec cars, i just need a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance!:slayer:

Hi,
the UK spec. is based on a certain weight of pollutant -in grams

over a distance covered ( miles)

there are generational improvements / reductions over EURO4 , EURO5 and EURO6

I'm sure you'll find how they correlate to the US-DOE / EPA scheme

I'm not aware of any widespread ban of 500c's, so I think you should be fine? Yes, the emissions are hard to figure out. As a class M vehicle, do you know class or reference mass? This can help determine if its in the right EURO class for LEZ's, if that's what you're worried about?

I guess one has to 1st of all decide if we are talking diesel or petrol?

Found this: https://longtailpipe.com/2015/10/02/differences-in-us-and-eu-emissions-standard-key-cause-of-dieselgate/

but that in itself may not be the whole matter.
