The standard applies to new light passenger (PVs) and commercial vehicles (LCVs) with a maximum weight of not more than 3,856 kg and a maximum running weight of not more than 2,720 kg. The stringency of the L8 standards is scheduled to increase with time, and they will be fully phased in for light passenger vehicles by January 1, 2029, and for light commercial vehicles by January 1, 2031.
