Euro 6

Euro 6 EU Emissions Standards

European Union (EU) legalisation sets out exhaust emissions standards for new vehicles sold in the EU. Since September, all passengers carrying vehicles must be registered as Euro 6, and Commercial Vehicles from September 2016.
They govern the limits on pollutants emitted in vehicle exhaust gas (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides hydrocarbons, carbon monoxides, carbon dioxides and diesel exhaust particulates).

• Selective Catalytic Reduction

  The Selective Catalytic Reduction uses AdBlue urea solution to convert nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and water. if the vehicle is equipped with these kind of emission control systems for diesel engines, then the filler neck for the AdBlue tank will be located before the filler cap for the fuel tank (under the bonnet for the Crafter).

  The tank can hold approximately 9, 13 and 18 litres for the Caddy, Transporter and Crafter. The AdBlue consumption figures all depend on individual driving style and the systems operating temperature and the ambient temperature that the vehicle is operated in.

• Exhaust Gas Recirculation

  Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a technique that is used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. This is in all of our diesel engines. 
  EGR works by recirculating a percentage of the engines exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders.

• Diesel Particulate Filter

  The DPF captures soot particulates in the exhaust gas. Periodically, the soot particles are automatically burnt under high temperatures to regenerate the filter and maintain exhaust gas emissions.
