Tier 3 Bin 125 emission standards

[daugen]

this one runs an oxidation cat, a diesel particulate filter, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx, meeting the Tier 3 Bin 125 standards that will be phasing in through 2025

from an article on the new GM 1.6 ltr diesel engineered in Italy and built in Hungary and soon coming to us.

All these emission tiers are confusing when we often talk here about Tier 3 and 4 for diesel tractors. If the standards get more stringent
as the Tier number goes up, I'm surprised this new standard isn't Tier 113 by now.
Tier 3 Bin 125 sounds like an Australian wine...
Is this Tier 3 the same Tier 3 as one diesel tractors?

I guess the real question here is what's coming at us next? Are the standards for gasoline and diesel engines the same? I wonder if this standard is the one the automakers are trying to get Trump to reconsider. Sounds more like a current standard if it is "phasing in" as the article said.
Perhaps I misread the article and this is a Euro standard but I'm guessing Bin is not something you put bolts in.

Mark my words, before long you will not be able to buy a new diesel. Gas or Natural gas will dominate, until electric takes over.

They have a lot to do before natural gas and electric take over. Range even on Teslas is awful compared to my 2013 VW Passat TDI. 250 miles for the Tesla 750plus for the TDI. Who know how long it would take to go from New England to Florida in the Tesla. The VW I fill it before I leave and can fill it up once and make it to Florida. Might take 3 days with the Tesla. Passat is 22 hours.

I can tell you without doubt, the EPA (at least of the past, I hope) has ZERO concerns for what would happen when diesel are eliminated. ZERO. They are pushing for electrics, and solar, and wind, and costs and consequences be damned.

It's all about the green agenda, that they have agreed to hold the US and Europe to, but not the major polluters as in China and Russia. Even with all the ridiculous diesel standards in Europe, the mayor of Paris recently banned the use of diesels in city limits.

I can this stupid state (CA) doing something similar if given the opportunity. They are doling out tax dollars on these programs left and right and letting our infrastructure waste away. Our dams are eroding to the point of danger, bridges are collapsing (just had hwy 101 close due to concrete pylons with severe cracking) and yet they want to build a multi billion dollar fast train so they can go from Sacramento to LA in a hurry and avoid airport hassle.

The EPA has taken it's cue from CA for years and our auto standards have gotten absurd.
