Thanks you. '16 plate so quick google tells me that it must be compliant to euro 6.
Your question has made me feel guilty about getting a diesel ever since tho.
Euro 6
September 2014 (September 2015)
The Euro 6 standard imposes a further, significant reduction in NOx
emissions from diesel engines (a 67% reduction compared to Euro 5) and
establishes similar standards for petrol and diesel.Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) – replacing some of the intake air
(containing 80% nitrogen) with recycled exhaust gas – reduces the
amount of nitrogen available to be oxidised to NOx during combustion
but further exhaust after treatment may be required in addition to the
Diesel Particulate Filters required to meet Euro 5.Euro 6 diesel cars may also be fitted with:
A NOx adsorber (Lean NOx Trap) which stores NOx and reduces it to
Nitrogen over a catalyst Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) which
uses an additive (Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or AdBlue) containing
urea injected into the exhaust to convert NOx into Nitrogen and water.
The use of Cerium, a fluid injected into the fuel tank each time the
vehicle is refuelled which assists the DPF regeneration by lowering
the temperature needed for regeneration. Euro 6 emission limits
(petrol)CO – 1.0 g/km HC – 0.10 g/km NOx – 0.06 g/km PM – 0.005 g/km (direct
injection only) PM – 6.0x10 ^11/km (direct injection only) Euro 6
emission limits (diesel)CO – 0.50 g/km HC+ NOx – 0.17 g/km NOx – 0.08 g/km PM – 0.005 g/km PM
– 6.0x10 ^11/km
Erm...Not sure. How can a man with little car knowledge find out?
