    Well, today the last part of Euro 5 became law in Australia. That is very surprising. After all they don't have their own truck manufacturers, they assemble trucks. All the European manufacturers and US manufacturers can build Euro 6 trucks, so why is it that Australia still hasn't Euro 6 legislation?

    Yet they use the EURO standard.

    Distance and measuring is metric.

    Actually Kenworth, Volvo/Mack & Iveco all have Manufacturing facilities here in Australia.
    With Kenworth making the entire; Cab, Hood, Sleeper & chassis rails inhouse.
    Iveco build certain Model Cabs & Bonnets (hoods) & chassis rails from Scratch.
    Volvo/Mack are more of "assemblers" that the other 2 But still have a substantial Factory & is in the RHD centre for Mack Worldwide.

    We currently Have Euro 5 (or Equivalent) but you need to keep in mind our Land Mass is comparable to Europe or North America with only 24Million People..

    First ones look short. Last one is basically a Michigan setup, just missing 5 or 6 axles.
