One of if not the most sustainable commercial vehicles in production, the Mercedes-Benz Arocs Euro 6 truck has just stepped for the first time in the UK.
Featuring both selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which ads ammonia to the exhaust system, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which uses cooled exhaust gases back into the vehicles' air intake and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) on the exhaust which captures soot particles from the exhaust gas.
“As a major UK construction and infrastructure company, we take on a leadership role in driving forward our industry’s sustainability performance. We believe that working this way is fundamental to the reputation and continuity of our industry. We are making demonstrable progress in the field of sustainability, and our acquisition of these Euro 6 compliant vehicles serves to highlight that.” said Jonathan Hall, plant director for Morgan Sindall, the UK company who leased the first two Arocs Euro 6.
The two trucks were bodies by tipper specialists Thompsons of Blackburn, using the latest all-steel “carry anything” Loadmaster multi-purpose tipper-body.
