I predict vehicle manufacturers lobby groups will be very supportive because they care about the “climate emergency”.

No legislation of this nature is retrospective.

It will apply to new models from 2025 and all new vehicles from 2028, or whatever the dates were in the release.

It's no different from the introduction of euro4 or euro5. No real fanfare. Manufacturers are aware of these changes well in advance and will adjust the tuning and software to adapt. If unable, a new engine will be introduced.

Lots of chicken little in this thread.
