    Goals / Remit

    AECC is an international association of European companies engaged in the development, production and testing of catalyst and filter based technologies for engine exhaust emissions control. This includes the development, testing and manufacture of autocatalysts, ceramic substrates and specialty materials incorporated into the catalytic converter and filter and catalyst based technologies to control engine emissions (especially particulates and nitrogen oxides). Members' technology is incorporated in the exhaust emissions control systems of new cars, commercial vehicles, buses, non-road mobile machinery and motorcycles in Europe.
    The principal objectives of the Association are:
    - to foster and promote the use of state-of-the-art technologies for the control of harmful emissions from mobile sources;
    - to collect and disseminate information concerning laws and regulations, safety and environmental concerns, studies relating to vehicle exhaust emissions and methods for their control;
    - to promote the harmonisation of technical standards, test procedures and safety regulations;
    - to sponsor scientific research programmes related to the objectives of the Association and disseminate the results at conferences and in scientific publications.
