Quote from: solonightrider on April 22, 2024, 11:44:01 PMaint the 2 new on fleet 67 plate e200s euro 6 then  if so they are being wasted on 841 & 432 they could be on the 35a 36 and get them big volvo's on to 74 826 828 circuit to releive some of the old heaps off there that constantly fail most days
Seems daft putting the freshly re painted bigger stuff on narrow county lanes over uttox area to gat all bashed and scraped up. 99 seems to be took off 841 432 and put on 74  826 828 - they dont seem to ever put owt decent on 74 826 828 all the oldest unreliable scrag end tat they can find.

Yes 497 and 498 are both euro 6 along with 505 and 506.

They weren't Euro 6 from new, so must have been retrofitted Euro 6.

According to the VRM lookup software we use at work, 467 comes up as Euro4, so will have been retrofitted.

(There must be a separate flag/indicator in the DVLA data that shows if a vehicle has been upgraded to better standards. Our software only shows the Euro standard the vehicle was originally registered with it seems)

It comes up on the 'Brum Breathes' website as 'no charge' which is usually a good sign a bus has had a euro 6 exhaust fitted.

It was not possible to fit a Euro 6 engine in the engine bay of a standard E200 or E400, so any that are Euro 6 will retain their original engine with a new exhaust system fitted.

id of thought that a 67 plate would be euro 6 as most manufacturers were building vehicles to euro 6 from 2015/16. it definitely wouldnt be euro 4, possibly euro 5

Just because it's a 67 plate doesn't mean it was built in 2017

As I & Tony have already stated, Euro 6 E200's began with the MMC's, the original style E200's can't accommodate Euro 6 engines, registration plates are irrelevant.
