Costing the earth: the great Euro 6 debate

As the due date for Euro 6 emissions legislation looms inexorably larger, and engine and truck makers unveil more solutions, the writing is on the wall. Although not forcing greater fuel consumption, as feared just a few short months ago, there will be a cost hike for Euro 6 trucks, probably in the £8,000 to £12,000 region. So prudent fleet managers may well decide to accelerate truck purchases and cash in on cheaper Euro 5 variants.
