BM Catalysts reaffirms market leadership in emissions control amid EU ZEV mandate adjustments

BM Catalysts, Europe’s leading manufacturer of aftermarket hot end emissions control solutions, has reinforced its position as a market leader following the European Union’s decision to revise its 2035 zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate for new car sales.

The European Commission’s adjustment reduces the previously proposed 100% zero-emission requirement to a 90% target, recognising the ongoing role of internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrids, and transitional technologies in achieving real-world emissions reduction.

The change to the mandate confirms effective emissions control technology remains essential throughout the automotive industry’s transition to net zero. Something of which BM Catalysts has championed.

“As policymakers adapt targets to reflect technical and economic realities, the importance of advanced emissions control has never been clearer,” said James Saunders, Technical Director at BM Catalysts.

“While zero-emission vehicles are a critical part of the future, millions of vehicles equipped with combustion and hybrid powertrains will remain on Europe’s roads well beyond 2035. Our role is to ensure those vehicles are as clean and compliant as possible.”

BM Catalysts continues to support distributors, workshops and technicians within the aftermarket with high-performance emissions control devices designed to meet and exceed evolving emissions standards. BM Catalysts supply products designed to help reduce harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, delivering immediate environmental benefits alongside long-term decarbonisation goals.

The revised ZEV mandate underscores the need for a balanced regulatory approach, one that combines ambitious climate targets with practical pathways to cleaner mobility. BM Catalysts’ ongoing investment in research, manufacturing capability, and quality assurance ensures the company remains at the forefront of emissions control, regardless of legislative shifts.

Commenting further, Saunders said: “Our focus is not tied to a single existing technology.

“We exist to deliver emissions reduction in the real world, today, tomorrow, and throughout the transition to zero-emission transport,” Saunders added.

With regulatory flexibility now built into Europe’s roadmap, BM Catalysts is well positioned to continue supporting the industry as a trusted partner in emissions control and environmental compliance.
