In Morocco, new trucks can still pollute

Initially set for January 2025, Morocco’s adoption of the European environmental standard Euro 6 for the approval of new vehicles sold on the national market will only be effective from January 1, 2027, confirms the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.

Regarding approval and registration, only vehicles in categories M2, M3, N1, N2 and N3 are affected by this postponement. The postponement of the implementation of the European environmental standard Euro 6, for the approval of new vehicles marketed on the Moroccan market, was decided after the publication, in Official Bulletin No. 7361 of December 16, 2024, of the joint decree No. 2094-24 of December 11, 2024 of the Minister of Transport and Logistics and the Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development. This decree modifies and supplements a previous decree setting the conditions for approval of vehicles with regard to the emission of pollutants according to the engine’s fuel requirements.
