For instance, Euro 6 standards limits CO emissions to 0.50 g/km (which was 0.64 g/km in EURO 3) and NOX to 0.25 g/km (which was 0.50 g/km) for passenger cars. Such regulations have fueled the demand for advance technologies such as warning notification lights which provide real-time alerts about fuel consumption and sometimes emission-related defects.
