The Euro 6 emissions standard come into force across the European light commercial vehicle market and, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT), Europe’s van manufacturers have met the challenge.

They have come together, often in collaboration, to introduce a new generation of vans, pick-ups and, specifically, engines that not only meet the standards, but in many cases are more efficient and more refined than their predecessors. It’s a remarkable achievement that’s down to considerable investment and endeavour.
