Isuzu says there are a limited number of auto parts suppliers that can meet Euro 5 and 6 standards. As a local car distributor, Isuzu must comply with the new regulations to meet the Euro 5 or 6 standards, once the government decides on them. Some 30 locally made and imported vehicle models already comply with Euro 5, while 111 mainly imported models comply with Euro 6, said the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE). Strict investment regulations mean only locally made eco-cars in the second phase have to meet Euro 5. Last Friday, Isuzu was one of nine car distributors to meet with the OIE regarding the Euro standards for vehicles.
