Automobile emissions standards have long been regulated in the United States and other countries throughout the world. Although these countries all have had similar goals in mind, their laws and regulations have emitted dissimilar ways of addressing them. These differing regulations have run parallel with the auto manufactures' development and manufacture of different vehicles for diverse regions of the world.
This paper explores and traces the differences between the history and framework upon which the United States’ and the European Union’s emissions regulations systems work. The purpose is to determine whether these emissions regulations, with other concerns aside, have had an impact on the automobile industry in these two regions.
