EURO-4 compliance by 2014?

[JohnM]

any updates on this topic?

specifically, if one is to buy a car now, how should his/her decision be influenced by the corresponding euro iv law that will be in force by 2016?

Implementation date is Jan 1, 2016: Philippines Issues Euro 4 Vehicle Emission Standards | Clean Air Initiative

Seaoil, Unioil and Petron already have Euro IV products. Some brands like Mazda are waiting for full Euro IV implementation so they can bring their diesels in.
