What truck will I get next?

I can’t think of any at the moment. I love Scania and my R470 Euro 3’s are brilliant. They average 10.5 mpg plus on container work and pull like a train. I’ve tried the Euro 4 R480 (EGR) version and found it to be 20% less fuel efficient. I have also tried the R560 (SCR) and the R500 (SCR) and found them to be 10-15% less fuel efficient plus the Adblue cost.

So what is my motivation? Saving the planet? The joy of complying with another EU regulation?
We are talking about £60-150 a week per truck. Mind you, you do get £6 per day discount for EURO 4 in Central London! It’s another nail in the coffin of UK transport.

Ah well, I can’t hear anybody else complaining.. Maybe they don’t check their fuel figures?
