These regulations are designed to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices.

  • ISO Standards: The automotive industry is also subject to a number of ISO standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management). These standards are voluntary, but they are widely adopted by automotive manufacturers.
