    They may also have installed an exhaust diverter valve.
    Exhaust gasses go either the normal way through the SCR unit, or directly into the open side pipe, bypassing the SCR.
    Air-operated from the cab.

    Yes, and you need to switch off adblue pump, otherwise it will spray huge amount of it.
    In austria they give you fine if they catch you with one despite you are not using it. Austria is sensitive for ecology and especially noise, i hate their laermenschutz

    Europe is very keen on reducing fine dust. It causes the premature death of tens of thousands of people every year.

    I take it then that you have never heard of the danger of fine dust for the lungs? Fine dust is not only caused by engines, but also by other sources. There are European limits for the amount of fine dust in the air. It may well be that the new Euro 7 standard that seems to be in the making will limit the amount of fine dust particles of a certain size in exhaust gasses.
