Last year's epic CM 1,000-mile test notwithstanding, manufacturers taking the EGR route to Euro-4 have been reluctant to put trucks up for test. The 'common knowledge' around the truck stops is that you buy EGR for ease of use and SCR for economy, but we've had little opportunity to reach a decision.
