You seem to have no idea how various engines are configured to meet different emission regulations

Are you talking about the very same Ecodiesel that was banned by the EPA, but was still legal to sale in Europe since Euro 6 is less stringent. The very same Ecodiesel that was delayed almost a full year at the plant in Italy so they can be recalibrated to meet the stricter US emissions standards even though they already met Euro standards?

Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Delayed Until Early 2014

"According to Allpar, a large number of the EcoDiesel engines have been held at the VM engine plant in Ferrara Italy to be recalibrated to meet the American emission standards. Allpar also reports that the VM production line that was tasked with producing the EcoDiesel 3.0L V6 has been paused and should the calibration issue reports be true – it would make good sense for Chrysler to stop producing the engines until they are able to ship those engines that have already been produced."

Yeah, I remember that engine, and thanks for bringing it up because it proves exactly what have been saying that the US emissions are more strict than the Euro emissions.

Oh, and I have actually worked for a diesel engine manufacturer that sold diesels globally. How many have you worked for?
