Czech carmaker Skoda warned it would have to cut 3,000 jobs and axe some models if the EU’s proposed Euro 7 emissions scheme is implemented in its current form.

The Euro 7 law, which EU countries and lawmakers will start negotiating this year, would tighten limits on the emission by cars of health-harming pollutants, including nitrogen oxides.
