    A glider has zero certificates for engines and emissions. Only for the truck. So owning certificates for old emissions norms does not apply. They had to get new certificates for everything related to the cab and chassis.

    As for new engines and emissions norms, they already own those certificates for other models such as the cascadia. It's not like they will be getting a new certificate for the dd15 just because it's going into an argosy vs a cascadia.

    Class 8 trucks in Australia will only go to EURO VI(which is nearly the same as EPA10) around 2020.
    So for now there are no Argosy's running with the latest emmissions.
    The new Actros will be coming to Autralia this year.
    We will have to wait 2y to see if the Argosy will still be sold with the newest version off the DD engines.

    But, but...

    Your 379 just isn't very refined and aerodynamic at all.

    By the way, don't mind the big square wall on the front of that Scania COE. That's actually a needle nose and you're just looking at it from the wrong angle. We Americans are just dolts and simpletons who lack the necessary intellect to appreciate such engineering genius. :rolleyes:
