Abstract: The progressive tightening of vehicular emission norms has significantly influenced the design and performance of internal combustion engines (ICE). With global pressure to reduce environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, automotive manufacturers have had to integrate innovative technologies to comply with standards such as Euro VI, Bharat Stage VI, and Tier 3 norms. These regulations have resulted in notable changes in fuel injection systems, exhaust after-treatment devices, combustion optimization, and electronic control systems. This paper explores the evolution of emission norms and their direct implications on engine architecture, efficiency, and sustainability. Additionally, it addresses the balance between performance, compliance, and cost-effectiveness through a systematic examination of engineering adaptations driven by legislation.
Keywords: Emission norms, Engine design, Euro VI, BS VI, After-treatment systems, Automotive engineering, NOx reduction, GHG emissions.
