The BVRLA says the majority of its members in the short-term rental sector prefer EGR over SCR, although few are actually changing their buying patterns as a result.
"Most of our members have long-term relationships with particular manufacturers," says head of communications Robin Mackonochie. "If that manufacturer has gone down the SCR route it adds a layer of complexity for our members."
He explains that this is not an issue with long-term lease vehicles, where the responsibility
to fill-up with AdBlue falls on the customer.
Mackonochie says that the BVRLA is relieved that the take-up of digitach smart cards has picked-up in recent months. He says there are now 229,000 cards in circulation, which means its members don't have digitach-equipped trucks sitting idle as hauliers ignore them in favour of analogue.
