Emission standards for diesel vehicles to Euro 4 in June '06

off_service SG

Emission standards for diesel driven vehicles will be raised to Euro 4 from the current Euro 2 standards.

The government initially wanted to raise the standard to Euro 3 in the past 2 years but scrapped the idea due to the economy downturn.

Taxi operators are also encouraged to use CNG taxis.

This is good news Neutral as there is a chance to see new buses!

But if new buses that SBS have an excuse to jack up prices…

rancour5 SG

err…i think none of the buses except 2688 and 1689 can pass the test leh…the rest only Euro2 std leh…so all must replace..??

Superbus SG

I think you meant SBS1688K and SBS2888T?

All SBST buses purchased after 1993 have engine emissions which complied to the Euro 2 and above standards.

As for the new Euro 4 standards for vehicles, I think its for the purchase of new vehicles and not the existing fleet.

Cheers and warm regards

The CNG B10BLEs 2888 and 2889 are Euro-4 compliant according to Volvo.

However, i seriously doubt that Dennis Lances are Euro II compliant. Just look at the black sooty exhaust when it just starts moving from the bus stop!

rancour5 SG

SBS9818A SG

Yes they do.

Superbus SG

The Volvo Mark 4s are Euro-1 engine standard compliant. Or have the engines re-modified to comply with the Euro-2 standard?

The Mark 2s, CRBs and the O405s were bought between 1987 and early 90s, so they can't comply, even with Euro-1 engine standard. Or have the engines re-modified to comply with the Euro-2 standard?

Cheers and warm regards

I feel that only MK3 & LOs buses complied to Euro emissions only(The basic)Not 1,2 or 3 Cool
