Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Figures.?.... you shouldn’t be calling out anyone .

It costs less tax every year to register a motor vehicle the highest rate is when you buy new ........

These gliders are going for more money then most new emissions trucks. They are not buying them to save equipment costs... it’s because of the crap emissions they have been selling over here ......

 

DEF fluid is a huge industry that was basically created overnight with the stroke of a lawmaker's regulatory pen. Anyone who thinks vast resources aren't wasted producing and shipping it all over everywhere to be distributed can't be taken seriously.

 

Huh? Truck registration fees are figured by miles run in each of the 48 states.

 

We pay town tax (state) based on sale price of truck .... before going to irp.


Goes down a little every year.....

 

Sure some states have that, but not all do.

Edit: even in the states that do have a property tax on trucks, it is still not a a registration fee. It is a separate tax that local law makers have decided to impose on local businesses.

 

Really?
About 80% of the urea (which is the working component of DEF fluid) production is used to produce fertilizers. It is also used for other purposes, like certain plastics and explosives. Ever heard of polyurethane?

 

Just in today:

The European Commission will publish plans tomorrow, whereby the fuel consumption of new trucks will have to be reduced by 15% in the next 7 years, and by 30% in 2030.

 

News from Cat's favourite truck producer:

 

Speed limit will be lowered for trucks to 40 kph......

Tulip season almost over...?

 

Sure the customer is going to give you power while you unload........

What a crock.........!
