Abstract:

The aim of the work described in this thesis was to study the development of the current technology of the combustion engines after-treatment, as well as the progress and further possibilities Europe is making towards reducing emissions of personal mobility in modern cars and their successful implementation. This thesis focuses mainly on Europe legislation and their effective implementation and manner that they should be reached. With the European Commission proposal for 2025 and 2030 standards, there is a renewed target on emissions control. Several analyses in this thesis were applied with examples of data collected from various sources to research the progress, trends and the forecast of emissions from road transport. So, in the end, it is shown the best alternative propositions for the further possibility of emissions reduction from modern cars.
