Morocco Extends Euro 6 Implementation Timeline for Commercial Vehicles
Morocco has announced a strategic adjustment to its vehicle emissions policy, extending the deadline for Euro 6 standards implementation by two years for specific commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. The decision, revealed by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, maintains the original timeline for personal vehicles while providing additional adaptation time for commercial transport sectors.
The extension specifically targets vehicle categories M2 and M3 (buses and coaches), as well as N1, N2, and N3 (commercial vehicles and trucks), affecting both vehicle homologation and registration processes. Notably, category M1 vehicles, which include standard passenger cars, must still adhere to the original Euro 6 implementation schedule.
This policy modification was formalized through a joint ministerial order (No. 2094-24) issued by the Transport and Logistics Ministry in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, officially published in the country's gazette on December 16, 2024.
Euro 6 standards represent the most stringent emissions control requirements in the European regulatory framework, designed to minimize environmental impact from vehicular emissions. These regulations set strict limits on key pollutants including nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM) from both petrol and diesel-powered vehicles.
