London,EN,UK -Commercial Vehicle, by James Clark/Tim Cattlin -9 March 2012: -- It’s possibly stating the obvious to those close to all things transport-related, but the introduction of Euro-6 legislation for all new trucks registered from January 2014 is likely to have a significant effect on values realised for Euro-4 and particularly Euro-5 used trucks as we lead up to the new rules becoming law - and indeed afterwards... Indications from manufacturers suggest that, due to the additional cooling required, cab redesigns will be necessitated, and that the transactional price increase for a new vehicle could run into five figures. This, coupled with the predicted increase in fuel consumption, makes a new Euro-6 vehicle a ‘challenging’ proposition to the operator... Given that the new truck market has been in the doldrums since 2008/2009, availability of late used Euro-5 vehicles was always going to be restricted. These uncertain economic times have led to many operators postponing the replacement of vehicles - but as time goes on, they will have to ‘bite the bullet’ and consider freshening up their fleets...Labels: clean engines, engines purchases, rules and regulations
