        Since 1995, emission standards for new and imported used petrol vehicles are equivalent to those introduced in the European Union in 1993; the application of emission standards for new diesel vehicles including buses and trucks is UN-ECE standard 49.2.

         

        This fulfills the requirements of Directive 2009/40/EC, which fixes minimum standards for the periodic roadworthiness tests of motor vehicles.

        Electromobility Programme (ELMO) infrastructure

        A public procurement won by automation and power technology firm ABB was organized by the Estonian state in 2011 for the purchase and management of the country’s ELMO quick charger network. The current procurement contract was signed through November 2017. The chargers are installed in urban areas with more than 5,000 inhabitants, and on major roads throughout the country, creating the highest concentration of DC chargers in Europe. On highways, the chargers are never more than 60 km (37 miles) apart, making it possible for electric vehicles to travel anywhere within the Baltic state without running out of…
