Recently, the Council of the European Union officially adopted the legislative act on the “Euro 7” motor vehicle emission standards, marking that this stringent environmental regulation covering all vehicle types and fuel categories has entered the countdown to implementation. At this critical juncture, our company announces that its entire range of three-way catalytic converter products has taken the lead in completing Euro 7 standard compliance certification, fully meeting the new regulations’ strict requirements for exhaust gas purification, durability, and particulate matter emission control. It will provide European automakers with a one-stop solution for smooth compliance amid the standard upgrade.
As a crucial milestone in the global automotive industry’s environmental upgrade, the Euro 7 standard has achieved multiple major breakthroughs: it is the first time that emission limits for all motor vehicles (including fuel-powered vehicles, electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles) have been integrated into a single regulatory framework. It not only strengthens the control of traditional exhaust pollutants but also adds new restrictions on brake particle and tire microplastic emissions. Meanwhile, it imposes stricter requirements on the service life of core components such as catalytic converters, specifying that they must maintain stable purification performance within a driving mileage of 200,000 kilometers or a service period of 10 years. According to EU regulations, all new models of light vehicles (passenger cars and vans) must meet the standards within 30 months after the regulation takes effect, meaning European automakers have entered a critical preparation period for the standard transition.
Faced with the technical challenges posed by the Euro 7 standard, relying on years of technical accumulation in the three-way catalytic converter field, our company has set up a special R&D team to tackle key issues. Targeting the core requirements of the new regulations, the products have achieved three major technological breakthroughs: First, adopting independently developed rare earth-based nano-coating technology, which reduces the load of precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium by 25% while increasing the conversion efficiency of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides to over 95%. At the same time, it effectively controls the emission of newly regulated pollutants such as nitrous oxide (N₂O); Second, optimizing the structural design of the honeycomb ceramic carrier, upgrading the honeycomb density to 1200 cpsi, and combining ultra-thin wall manufacturing technology to significantly improve high-temperature stability and anti-aging capabilities. Tested by authoritative institutions, the products performed excellently in accelerated aging tests simulating real driving scenarios, fully meeting the new regulations’ durability requirements; Third, integrating an intelligent OBD monitoring module that can real-time feed back catalytic conversion efficiency data, providing automakers with an accurate emission control early warning mechanism.
This compliance certification covers the entire range of passenger and commercial vehicle three-way catalytic converter products of our company, which have passed all-item tests by EU-recognized third-party testing institutions, and the test results are far higher than the Euro 7 standard limits. It is worth noting that in response to the potential increase in compliance costs after the implementation of the Euro 7 standard, through the construction of precious metal reduction technology and a closed-loop recycling system, our company has successfully reduced the comprehensive product cost by 18%-25%, which can help automakers effectively control production and manufacturing costs while meeting environmental requirements.
“The European automotive market is a core position in the global automotive industry, and the implementation of the Euro 7 standard will accelerate the industry’s technological iteration,” said the company’s person in charge. “As a professional foreign trade supplier of three-way catalytic converters, we not only provide compliant products but also offer customized technical support and rapid response services to European customers, including full-chain services such as product adaptation and development, installation and commissioning guidance, and after-sales maintenance training. At present, several European automakers have reached cooperation intentions with us, and we will jointly carry out product matching tests in the follow-up.”
The global three-way catalytic converter market is ushering in policy-driven growth opportunities. Data shows that driven by stringent emission standards such as Euro 7, R&D investment in precious metal catalyst carriers in the European market has increased by 17.6% year-on-year. The global market size is expected to expand to 8.5 billion US dollars at a compound annual growth rate of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030. Our company’s taking the lead in completing Euro 7 compliance certification will further consolidate its competitiveness in the European market and contribute Chinese intelligent manufacturing strength to the global automotive industry’s green transformation. In the future, the company will continue to focus on technological innovation, keep track of the upgrade dynamics of emission standards around the world, and launch more environmentally friendly auto parts products that meet market demand.
