Europe does not have " US Design"Trucks,but Australia, New Zealand , and South Africa do. On the other hand their are many Cabover HDT European and Japanese Trucks, they all have no problems meeting Euro 6
So if you have Euro 5, then how are your emission standards higher than the US standards like you were trying to tell me in our last debate? Wouldn't that mean that your emissions standards are lower then the US(like I have trying to tell you) if you currently have Euro 5?
Note: Even though Euro 6 has lower NOx regulations. Heck, even this Ausie is smart enough to know it...... Australia’s weaker emissions standards allow car makers to ‘dump’ polluting cars
"In the United States the standards (referred to as the Tier 2 program) are more stringent than Euro 6, with the fleet average NOx close to 40 mg/km for both diesel and petrol engines. The Tier 2 program sets out the standards for tailpipe emissions for all passenger vehicles including sports utility vehicles (SUVs, minivans, and pick up trucks). Tier 2 will be replaced by stricter Tier 3 standards at the beginning of 2017."
Euro 6 NOx requirement: 180 mg/km
US EA NOx Requirement: 40 mg/km
Which seems lower to you?
We are going to going too Euro 6. US Tier 2 regulations have been rejected as unsuitable.,Co2, CO and particulate matter major concerns to All those planning to implement Euro 6 . Reasons Countries as disparate as China, EU, South Africa are going for the more effective regulations.
