    Two classic DAF N-series trucks from the 1980's . They used slightly modified Magirus Deutz cabs. The second one has its younger brother next to it.

    The DAF factory.

    The European aftertreatment systems are much smaller.

    Yes.
    They get big discounts but a 55% discount??
    Something doesn't add up.
    But what ,where and by who?
    I don't know.
    Maybe the dealer is getting rich real quick?

    Well I'm off to Tier 4 Final training. According to the pre-course WBT classes Tier 4 off road has exactly the same standards as the Euro and Japanese regulations.

    Pics of European aftertreatment? Thought maybe @daf105paccar said it isn't field serviceable, exchange units instead. My memory is slipping though.
