Red Horse Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Interesting to see if any of these engines (7 or 9 liter) make there way here to give the 750 a fighting chance in the market. With a 37,000 lb gvw, I have trouble seeing any future for the 6.7 Power Stroke in that application.

Is that because euro emissions are easier to meet than US emissions?

The European test cycle for Euro-6 is easier than EPA2010, but essentially, the U.S. and global (Euro) emissions standards have virtually merged at this point, making it possible to offer both emissions variants, as Paccar, Daimler and Volvo do.
