VOLVO IS COVERING all the bases as it prepares for the Euro-4 emissions deadline in October by launching an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) engine to run alongside its preferred solution, SCR (selective catalytic reduction).
The Swedish truck builder remains certain that SCR is the best approach to meeting the new exhaust emissions protocol. But it will offer an EGR version of its old 12-litre engine for applications where the mounting of equipment, such as cranes would hinder the mounting of the SCR equipment including AdBlue tanks.
And while Volvo will supply the FOR engine to operators who insist on it there will be an £800 premium as well as a fuel-economy penalty. The company expects FOR engines to account for more no more than 5% of total demand.
Volvo.Mercedes,Iveco,Daf and Renault advocate SCR:MAN and Scania prefer EGR.
• Volvo will replace its FL range this summer with a new model equipped with Renault cabs and a Euro-4 range of engines that will be jointly developed with German firm Deutz.
New live and seven-litre Deutz engines will power the Volvo and Renault mid-range products; Volvo will use versions of the Renault Midlum and Premium cabs.
