List of Euro 6d-temp diesels expands significantly

There is no escaping from the Euro 6d-temp emission standard, which came into being with the introduction of the Real Driving Emissions test (RDE) in September 2017. New type-approvals need to comply since September 2017, whereas existing models have until September 2019 to pass the test.

Below is a list of diesels that already comply with the Euro 6d-temp, which limits the allowed NOx emissions during the RDE test to 168 mg/km. This limit will decrease to 120 mg/km by January 2020 for new type approvals, when the "real" Euro 6d (i.e. not the "temp") takes effect.

Euro 6d-temp diesels face a less uncertain future than Euro 6b diesels, which were introduced in September 2014 and in many cases do not have a NOx reducing system, such as AdBlue. Important fleet newcomers to the list, which now contains over 100 models, are the Citroën C4 Spacetourer, the Ford Focus, most of Jaguar's and Land Rover's models, the Mercedes C and E Class, and finally the Opel Astra, Insignia and Grandland X.
