Hi, congratulations for this forum!
I am new here, residing in Europe and already a fan of this online platform.
It has been said before: chinese manufacturers willing to export to Europe need to face/solve the emission/pollution issue inevitably.
Beginning with 2006 the Euro 4 emission standard applies throughout EU-Europe.
Here's a question for the pros among you: as the majority of the chinese vehicle manufacturers already build cars complying with Euro 3, what in the world does it take to make this cars cleaner, Euro 4 compliant, respectively?
Is there no technology invented yet (already applied on a large scale, thus cheaper...) that could help these engines go for the Euro 4 the "easy/cheap way"?
I really cannot believe that this issue is a handicap for a vehicle manufacturer owning a certain critical mass, unless the upgrade implies a very difficult technical solution which goes along with high costs.
Would this costs be indeed so restrictive? Can anyone name a percentual cost increase?
Come on guys, it's show time! Show us europeans what chinese attributes are all about!
I would pay my respects to any manufacturer who will be able to short-cut the big lap between Euro 2 and Euro 4 in only two/three years, as long as the europeans needed a lot more than that (maybe it was only the legal part that made us be so "lazy" in this respect, but this is irrelevant now...).
Wishing you all a very nice day!
