The government issued a draft notification for separate emission norms for agriculture machinery and construction equipment vehicles.

The notification further provided for changing the nomenclature of emission norms from Bharat Stage to TREM Stage to avoid any confusion.

The notification also aims at changing the nomenclature of emission norms from Bharat Stage (CEV/TREM)IV and Bharat Stage (CEV/TREM) V to TREM Stage-IV and TREM Stage-V for agricultural tractors and other equipment and CEV Stage IV and CEV Stage-V for the construction equipment vehicles.

The CEVs’ applicability of next phase of emission norms are proposed to be applicable from April 1, 2021.
