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.

The vast majority of LCV manufacturers have met the Euro 6 challenge by using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which feeds AdBlue, or automotive grade urea, into the van’s emissions system to break down the nitrous oxide content.
