    What is worth such a report? Another wannabe "truckin expert" journalist will mumble about torque and how he lugged it for few minutes here and there and sum it up "whatta great engine". It is truly unbelievable those idiots get paid for that. If you ask me - we won't know anything in YEARS to come, before some random problem reports and observations start forming into bigger picture. But hey, what do I know - I just drive them for a living

    Never be legal as long as CARB and EPA are still around.

    This is like early Euro-V. No VGT, EGR, DPF becouse engine runs lean mixture (a lot of NOx), but they have DEF, and use more DEF than any other engine to destroy all NOx matter

    Been testing in Australia since beginning of 2012 so kenworth site said. Think it is made in US for the Europe market. They like testing here in oz with the heat high weight and long distances manufactures get there info quicker, Volvo tests all there new stuff here long before it is released in Europe.

    That is the trade off. You get to take all the parts off that may cause a failure that no one likes and now you get to use more DEF. I don't know what % they are saying it is going to use. My guess is 8% DEF usage. It may be higher.
