What is Euro 6?
Compared with the previous standard, Euro 6 mainly targets two types of emissions: nitrogen oxides (NOX) and particulate matter (PM).
The limits are extremely strict:
NOX is reduced by 80% – to 0.40 g/kWh (steady-state cycle)
NOX is reduced by 77% – to 0,46 g/kWh (transient cycle)
PM is reduced by 50% – to 0.01 g/kWh
The latter is actually even tougher, since not only the weight, but also the number of particulates count. To fulfil this demand, a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is needed, to capture also the smallest particulates.
Euro 6 becomes mandatory for all new heavy trucks from 1 January, 2014. But it may be a good option to invest in the new technology sooner than this.
