Euro Emissions Standards Explained

Euro emission standards in vehicles were introduced with a single aim of lowering/reducing the levels of harmful exhaust emissions. Harmful exhaust emissions from transport accounts for a large contribution to the air quality overall.

Euro standards have been a success in lowering the air pollutant emissions. It has been reported that Nitrogen oxide emissions are down by about 84% since 2001 and Particular matter is down by 96% since 1993.. Such figures prove that Euro standards in vehicles are affective in reducing harmful emissions. 

What are the ‘Euro’ emissions standards ? 

Since 1992, European Union have imposed emission control regulations for all new transport – cars, vans, trucks etc.. The main purpose of Euro emissions standards is to reduce the levels of harmful exhaust emissions from transport. Introducing Euro emissions standards to all new vehicles means a vehicle has to meet a certain Euro emissions standard when it is made. Main air pollutants that Euro standards aiming to reduce are: 

  • Particulate matter (PM)
  • Notrogen oxides (NOx)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Hydrocarbons (HC)

Euro emissions standards and emission control systems in vehicles have have come a long way since being introduced in 1992 when Euro 1 standard kicked off with catalytic converters becoming compulsory on new cars. Since then, we had a number of Euro emissions standards changes leading to the current Euro 6 standard.  Euro emissions standards were applied to new trucks as follows: 

Euro 1: from 1992

Euro 2: from 1997

Euro 3: from  2001

Euro 4: from 2005

Euro 5: from 2007

Euro 6: from 2013

Euro 7: expected 2025

How do I know if my truck is Euro 5 or Euro 6 ?

First, check the year of manufacture. Usually, Euro 5 standard runs from 2007 until 2013, and Euro 6 from 2013 until now. We’ve seen year 2007 truck still being Euro 4 standard and also year 2013 being already Euro 6, so trucks produced in these years should be paid attention to. The main differences between Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards that you will be able to see on your truck are: 

DPF (diesel particulate matter filter) – this was only fitted to Euro 6 trucks. So if your vehicle does have DPF – it is Euro 6, if it does not – it is Euro 5. (UK, European trucks only)

CAB facelift – usually, Euro 6 truck cab would be different to Euro 5. Euro 6 truck cab would be a newer/facelift model, this is usual for most European truck brands. 

How do I check my Euro emissions standard in my truck ? 

Most trucks will have their emissions standard printed on the side of the cab, so this would be the easiest way to check. If that is not the case, check the year of manufacture. Vehicles produced in years 2005-2007 are normally Euro 4, 2007-2013 – Euro 5, and 2013- till now are Euro 6. Emissions control systems are  different in each standard vehicles, they consist of: 

Euro 4 = AdBlue/SCR System

Euro 5 = AdBlue/SCR System + NOx sensor(s)

Euro 6 = AdBlue/SCR System + NOx sensor(s) + DPF

If still in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us, we’ll be happy to help you figure this out.. 

What is Euro 4 standard and what year did it start in trucks?

Euro 4 emissions control system in trucks consist of AdBlue/SCR System only. Euro 4 trucks do not have NOx sensor(s) or DPF. Euro 4 emissions standard was introduced in January 2005. Euro 5 standard replaced Euro 4 in 2007. Euro 4 adblue system stayed the same in most Euro 5 trucks with only the addition of NOx sensor.  

What is Euro 5 standard and what year did it start in trucks?

Euro 5 emissions control system in trucks consist of AdBlue/SCR System and  NOx sensor(s). Euro 5 standard system does not have DPF. Euro 5 emissions standard was introduced in 2007. Euro 6 standard replaced Euro 5 in 2013. Euro 5 standard adblue system in trucks is generally the same as in Euro 4, the only difference being the addition of NOx sensor to Euro 5. 

What is Euro 6 standard and what year did it start in trucks?

Euro 6 emissions control system in trucks consist of AdBlue/SCR System, NOx sensor(s) and DPF. (diesel particulate matter filter) Euro 6 emissions standard was introduced in 2013. Euro 6 standard is still in use today with Euro 7 expected to come into force in 2025. 

When will Euro 7 standard start ? 

A new emissions standard regulations are expected to be announced by the end of the year. Euro 7 rules are expected to set the strictest emissions standards yet, although some reports suggest Euro 7 regulations may be similar to current Euro 6 standard. Euro 7 is expected to come into force in July 2025. 

Are there universal adblue emulator for all emission standards ? 

No, different emission standard trucks will require different adblue emulators. To produce a reliable, good quality emulator we develop them specifically for the particular vehicle make and emissions standard. 

Euro 4 and Euro 5 adblue systems are generally the same in most European truck brands so in most cases our Euro 5 emulator will work on Euro 4 as well. We also have capability to produce universal adblue emulators for Euro 4/Euro 5 trucks, meaning this would work on any European truck such as DAF, SCANIA, VOLVO, MAN, RENAUL, IVECO, MERCEDES.. 

However, when it comes to Euro 6 it has a completely different adblue system and therefore only Euro 6 adblue emulator will do the job on these. We do not offer universal Euro 6 adblue emulators as these systems are far too complicated for making a universal emulator that would work on all brands. Each Euro 6 adblue emulator is bespoke developed/made for particular make and model, this makes our emulators most reliable and guarantees longevity. 

Are adblue emulators available for all emission standard trucks ?

Yes, we have been developing/producing adblue emulators for well over a decade now and therefor our current range carries adblue emulators for all emission standards. Apart from Euro 4 and Euro 5 emulators we also have emulators for Euro 6 trucks including the very latest 2022/2023 trucks with updated emission systems. Also, we are one of very few manufacturers worldwide producing specialist emulators for more complicated vehicles such as Volvo truck models with Retarder. Bespoke adblue development is also available for our trade customers, so please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss possibilities.

Are emission standards the same all over the world ? 

Although Euro standards are recognised globally, each country/region/union sets its own emissions control standards. Different countries will have different emission laws and regulations and therefor adblue systems in vehicles will also be different.  

This article is written based on trucks made for UK & EU markets. Introduction years, emissions standards, emissions regulations and emission control systems in trucks are different in other countries such as USA, Australia etc.. 

Fortunately, we have been working with our customers from regions such as Middle East, America, South America, Asia etc.. for some time now and therefor we are able to supply adblue emulators for trucks made for these markets. No matter what country/continent you are in we are confident we could help with with your adblue delete/disconnect requirements, please get in touch and give us a try..

AdBlue Delete Explained

Adblue delete is a software update/modification that removes the adblue system/map from the vehicle’s ECU. This is done electronically by connecting to the vehicle’s ECU and disabling/removing the adblue system. This does not involve any physical hardware modifications. Adblue delete will permanently remove any adblue related warning lights from the dashboard. After removal, your adblue system will be fully disconnected and no adblue fluid will be used. 

Is mapping out AdBlue legal ? 

Adblue delete service is intended for vehicles used off-road only as deleting adblue system will result in making your vehicle illegal to use on a public road. Although there are many ECU file modifications that are perfectly legal, mapping out AdBlue system is not. The law is clear in that disconnecting/removing Adblue system, be it by installing adblue emulator, remapping the ECU or in any other way, will result in making your vehicle illegal for use on a public road. So the short answer is no, mapping out adblue is not legal and vehicles that had this done should not be used on a public road. 

How does AdBlue delete or mapping AdBlue out work ? 

Deleting Adblue or mapping adblue out means remapping/modifying ECU file by deleting adblue system from it. This is done by downloading/flashing original ECU file using tools such as KESS or Dimsport etc.. then modifying that file by deleting required maps and uploading it back into the ECU. Once this procedure is completed, adblue system will be disconnected and cease to operate completely, adblue will no longer be consumed. In short, adblue delete works by connecting to the vehicle’s ECU and eliminating/deleting SCR/Adblue system. This is done using specialist diagnostic and tuning tools. Vehicle’s ECU can be reset to default settings at a later date if required. 

Is deleting AdBlue safe ?

Adblue delete via ECU remap is a complicated procedure and should only be done by professionals who know what they are doing. Considering adblue delete service is done by qualified technician you should not expect any problems. Deleting adblue properly will not interfere with any other systems or components and only adblue system itself will be affected. 

Can you delete adblue on any vehicle ? 

We specialise in trucks/heavy goods vehicles as well as other heavy transport and plants such as construction and agricultural machinery. We can delete adblue or perform other remapping procedures on most of these vehicles/machinery. Adblue delete is also available to most other vehicles such as cars and vans. 

How does DPF Delete work ? 

This service will delete DPF MAP in the vehicle’s ECU. If you choose to delete DPF only, your adblue system will stay working as is and your adblue liquid will be consumed as it normally is. The only component/system that will be deleted/removed is DPF (Diesel particulate filter) NOx sensor(s) is/are part of the SCR system and therefor will stay in working order as normal. 

Once DPF map has been deleted re-generation process will not take place, hence your filter will get blocked in time. DPF filter will have to be removed altogether or cleaned on a regular basis. 

How does NOx Delete work ? 

NOx delete service will only delete NOx. Some vehicles have 1 and some have 2 NOx sensors, this service will delete these from the vehicle’s ECU making them full disconnected. Nothing will change with AdBlue system as well as DPF, these will stay in fully working condition as they were.

You can choose to remove NOx map only or delete it together with adblue system or/and DPF. 

What other remapping services are available ?

EGR Delete: 

Same as with other vehicle systems/components, EGR delete service will delete EGR MAP from the vehicle’s ECU. This means only EGR is deleted and no other systems/components are affected. 

Speed Limit Delete:

To remove speed limiter via ECU remap, a specialist tools are used to connect to the ECU and delete/remove the restrictive settings to delete speed limiter completely or these settings can also be adjusted/reprogrammed to a certain/different speed limit of your choice. 

Reverse procedure can also be performed the same way, speed limiter can be activated by installing the restrictive settings within the ECU. 

Economy Remap:

Economy remap is the process of making modifications to the way a vehicle’s engine runs in order to improve fuel economy. This is done electronically by connecting to the vehicle’s ECU electronically and adjusting/modifying engine settings/parameters. 

Performance  Remap: 

Economy remap is the process of making modifications to the way a vehicle’s engine runs in order to improve vehicle’s power/performance. This is done electronically by connecting to the vehicle’s ECU electronically and adjusting/modifying engine settings/parameters. 

Many other remapping/modification services are available. Bespoke modifications can also be done using specialist tuning technologies, please get in touch to discuss possibilities or if you need any advise.

AdBlue emulator installation – Self-diagnostic emulators by Can Logic

We would like to introduce our latest feature – Can Smart adblue emulators with self-diagnosis function enabled. This will make adblue emulator installations much easier as installer will be able to quickly pin point the problem using self-diagnosis led light system on the emulator. The way it works is once you have connected adblue emulator and switched ignition on, you will see a number of led lights on the emulator light up. Each of these lights will indicate correct (or incorrect) SCR, NOX, CAN LINE.. connections. 

Although most of our trade customers are very knowledgeable about adblue emulator installation, and normally do not require any assistance, some novice installers may not get it right the first time, especially on more complicated EURO 6 trucks. That is where self-diagnosis function comes in really handy.

Let’s discuss some main adblue emulator installation points, and how self-diagnosis led system can help.

CAN LINE Connection:

Adblue emulator will communicate with vehicle’s ECU via Can lines (canbus) Emulator needs to receive and send constant signals indicating/emulating SCR/NOX system performance as if it was working as it should even though these systems will be disconnected after adblue emulator is installed. Therefor it is very important to connect can lines correctly. You will have two led lights on the emulator next for can line connection diagnosis. Should connection be correct, you’ll see a light next to ‘’[OK] Can line’’ light up. Should connection be not correct, you will see ‘’[PROBLEM] Can line’’ Knowing that there is a problem with can line connection, you should first try swapping can lines over (can-hi with can-low) in most cases this will be the answer to the problem. If this did not help and you still have a PROBLEM light on, you should inspect your can lines making sure they are ‘live’ and not broken.

SCR Disconnection:

In order for adblue emulator to perform properly, after installation you will need to disconnect SCR system or at least some of its components, depending on truck make and model. Emulator will be sending signals to the vehicle ECU, which would normally be sent by SCR system, so it is important SCR system is disconnected. If it is not, ECU will receive double signals which will cause errors codes. Should SCR disconnection be done correctly, you will see [OK] SCR disconnected. IF SCR is not disconnected, or disconnected incorrectly, you will see [PROBLEM] Disconnect SCR.  

These are only some of the benefits self-diagnosis adblue emulator system can offer. It gives the installer instant connection diagnosis and makes it clear what needs to be corrected in case of incorrect connection.

BREXIT UPDATE BY CAN LOGIC LTD

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 at 23:00 GMT ending almost half century of membership. From this date and time, the UK and the EU entered a transition period. It was agreed that during transition period the UK is no longer a member of the EU, but will remain a member of single market and customs union. Transition period has ended at 11pm on 31 December 2020 and the UK has left the single market and customs union with immediate effect.

As a result of UK leaving the single market and customs union, new rules apply to things like travelling and doing business with the EU. For customs purposes, the UK is teated as any other third/non-EU country as of 1 January 2021 and customs procedures and formalities now apply to trade between the UK and the EU. 

So what has changed with buying adblue emulators or other our products?

AdBlue emulator and other product prices after Brexit:

Our prices will no go up. In fact, we are making our prices better. We have started a few mass production lines at the end of last year, which allows us for making our cost lower. Such savings will be in turn passed on to our trade customers who will enjoy much better prices in 2021 especially on our main products such adblue emulators.

UK CUSTOMERS

We will try to do our best to hold a small stock of adblue emulators, OBD Error code scanners and other of our most popular products at our UK base, but our main warehouse is now based in the EU and therefore most parcels will be posted from the EU. We will do our best to post UK customer orders from our UK stock, in which case nothing will change, you will still receive your order quickly and there will be no additional cost. However, if we do not have your item in the UK stock, it will be posted to you from our EU base. Orders from our EU base will be posted with DHL Express service. As of yet we have not had any delays or additional charges such import duty, vat etc.. reported by our customers. Parcels are getting to the UK within 2 working days. However, these are uncertain times indeed, and this could change anytime.

In summary, we may post your order from our EU stock if product is not in stock at our UK base. As a result you may incur additional charges such as import duty or VAT. You, the customer, will be solely responsible for any such charges. 

NORTHERN IRELAND CUSTOMERS

In accordance with the agreed Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland, EU customs rules and procedures generally continue to apply to goods entering and leaving Northern Ireland. Therefor, nothing has changed for our customers in Northern Ireland, at least not so far. Our products such as adblue emulators, nox emulators and error code cleaners will be delivered the next working day via DHL Express service and there will be no additional charges or customs paperwork required for your goods. We do not know what will future hold, but for now, we have not had any extra charges or delays reported by our NI customers.

EU CUSTOMERS

Nothing will change for our EU customers. Your orders will be posted from our EU base so most countries within the EU will enjoy same rapid next working day delivery and no extra charges whatsoever. Just as before, customers that are VAT registered will pay no VAT on their orders, subject to providing a valid VAT registration number.              

THE REST OF THE WORLD

Nothing will change for our customers in the rest of the world. Your orders for products such as adblue emulators will be posted from our EU base so you will enjoy same fast delivery via DHL Express and no extra paperwork or other formalities due to brexit. Customers will also pay no VAT as their orders will be going for export outside the EU.

What is LIMP MODE and how to bypass it?

Limp mode, also known as limp home mode, is a feature in all trucks, which activates once the vehicle’s ECU detects a fault. In trucks, this happens mostly due to a fault with emissions control system. So it may be a failure of one or more SCR system components, NOx sensors, DPF or anything else within the emissions control system.  Once fault is detected, ECU will give you a certain number of hours/miles/starts before limp mode kicks in. When it does, the engine’s power will be limited until the fault in question is rectified.

Limp mode can be problematic, in most cases your truck will only go at a speed of about 20 miles per hour, such drastic is the engine’s power reduction. In trucks this can be especially bad if the vehicle is loaded at the time making it practically impossible to carry on driving safely.

There is not much you can do about limp mode when it is activated. The problem has to be fixed and relative error codes cleared before your truck will return to full power. However, something can be done. We are proud to present our Emergency Limp Mode reset tool, which will always get you out of trouble with limp mode. This is very simple plug & play tool which simply plugs in to the OBD port inside the cab. The way it works is the tool will automatically scan, detect and delete any inactive error codes from the truck’s ECU once plugged in, all you have to do is turn ignition on. Deleting the error codes will result in limp mode timer re-setting and giving you a new countdown until it kicks in again. Your vehicle will return to full power and if limp mode kicks in again after some time, you just reset it again. With SMART DTC emergency limp mode reset tool you will be able to complete your journey on full power no matter how far away you are from your destination.

We have developed a wide range of Limp Mode Reset tools for most European trucks. Full range, photos and specification can be found via link below:

Truck emissions standards explained

European emission standards for truck and other heavy-duty vehicle diesel engines are normally known as Euro I, Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV, Euro V and Euro VI. Starting with Euro 1 standard in 1992 the main aim was to reduce pollution and in turn improve air quality within the EU.

Euro I standard was introduced in 1992. Euro II standard followed in 1996. Both these standards were voluntary and were not enforced.

Euro III standard was introduced in 1999. This introduced a separate nitrogen oxide limit. 

Euro IV standard was introduced in 2005. 

Euro V standard was introduced in 2008

Euro VI standard started in 2013/2014

European emissions standards in trucks are the set limit of maximum values of harmful emissions that are allowed to come out of the exhaust. To fight pollution and for reasons such as health and air quality, the regulated emissions are:

  • Oxides of Nitrogen
  • Particulate Matter
  • Hydrocarbons
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Ammonia

Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards have mainly concentrated on reducing particular matter and oxides of nitrogen emissions. These trucks would normally have emissions control system consisting of all or two of below components:

EGR (‘exhaust gas recirculation’ this will reduce Oxides of Nitrogen emissions by adding cooled exhaust gas to intake air)

SCR (‘selective catalytic reduction’ system, this will reduce Oxides of Nitrogen emissions by adding ammonia (adblue) to exhaust system)

NOX (‘oxides of nitrogen’ nox sensor removes oxygen and breaks down the nitrogen oxides to provide a reading, this reading is then sent to truck’s SCR system which can then adjust itself to reduce NOx levels)

Most common combination in Euro 5 trucks is SCR + two NOx sensors. 

Euro 6 is obviously is the most complex emission control system to date. Some manufacturers claim it offers a range of ecological advantages such as up to 99% reduction in particulate matter, up to 97% reduction in Oxides of Nitrogen and other emission reductions..  This comes at cost, Euro 6 SCR, Nox or DPF systems are extremely expensive to repair and unfortunately not as reliable as one would hope for.. Other potential downsides would be Euro 6 trucks will consume more adblue and some fleets have reported higher diesel consumption as well. To put it simply, Euro 6 trucks have the most stringent emissions control system to date, but this most certainly come at a price of much higher maintenance cost.

Euro 6 truck emissions system normally consists of three or all 4 components below:

EGR (‘exhaust gas recirculation’ this will reduce Oxides of Nitrogen emissions by adding cooled exhaust gas to intake air)

DPF (‘diesel particulate filter’, this will filter out soot particles from engine exhaust gas, when filter is full it will increase temperature to burn soot out, this process is known as ‘re-generation’)

SCR (‘selective catalytic reduction’ system, this will reduce Oxides of Nitrogen emissions by adding ammonia (adblue) to exhaust system)

NOX (‘oxides of nitrogen’ nox sensor removes oxygen and breaks down the nitrogen oxides to provide a reading, this reading is then sent to truck’s SCR system which can then adjust itself to reduce NOx levels)

So far Euro 6 is the latest and most advanced emission standard in trucks. Nobody is yet talking about Euro 7 standard, and no manufacturer has announced any dates as of yet. It is very hard to predict when will the new Euro 7 standard arrive or what will it be like..

COMMON ISSUES INSTALLING ADBLUE EMULATOR

Although good quality adblue emulators are quite easy to install and use, there are some issues that may arise whilst installing it. Below we will discuss some of the most common issues with certain truck makes and models.

Volvo EURO 6 FH, FM, FMX

If truck has SCR related problems/error codes, before installing the emulator, most of them will go away after installation. However, there is one error code in particular which will stay. This is an error related to ‘poor AdBlue quality’ This is an active error code which will not go away. This fault must be cleared/deleted after installing the emulator using dealer level diagnostic tool such as VOLVO VOCOM. Once this error code is cleared it will not come back and the emulator will work fine. Please see photos below on how to clear this fault.

**3 photos of diagnostic. ** + 1 PHOTO OF ERROR ON DASH

DAF LF45, DAF LF55 EURO 5

DAF LF EURO 5 models will require Can Smart Cummins emulator. This can be installed to a vehicle with fully operational adblue system as well as to a vehicle with existing adblue or nox related problems/faults. Our emulator will emulate both – adblue system as well as nox sensors. If vehicle already had adblue faults prior to installing the emulator, these will disappear after installation. However, if there was an active nox fault it will stay even after installing the emulator. Don’t worry, this is nothing serious. The vehicle needs to be driven under load for a bit for this fault to clear by itself. This is due to the fact that the truck’s ECU needs run tests and register correct signals sent by the emulator. NOX tests are run at high temperature hence the vehicle must be driven to achieve such conditions. Normally, active nox fault will disappear after 20 – 50 miles of driving. You can also clear this fault with diagnostic tool, but should you not have access to such tool simply driving the vehicle will eliminate the fault.

Should you still have adblue related faults after installing the emulator, please check adblue tank level sensor and temperature sensor. These cannot be emulated and must be in working condition. The adblue emulator covers all other SCR components.

Troubleshooting DAF LF EURO 5

Can Smart Cummins adblue emulator have self-diagnosis function. With emulator fully installed, fuses taken out and ignition on, check the led lights on the emulator:

RED light = can lines connected incorrectly

Action: check instructions again to make sure you have made correct connections.  If it seems right, swap can lines over and check the light again.

RED/YELLOW light = SCR system not disconnected

Action: Check instructions again and make sure correct fuses are taken out.

Blue light = emulator is fully operational.

SCANIA R730 EURO 5

Not all Scania Euro 5 adblue emulators will work with this model. We do have bespoke emulator for this vehicle, but please note it is important you quote this model when ordering your emulator. We can also offer plug & play adblue emulator for Scania R730 trucks.

MAN EURO 6 TGS, TGX, TGM, TGL

There are two adblue emulators for MAN Euro 6 trucks. The only difference between them is a slight difference in program/software. The difference is in adblue tank size. Large trucks (TGX, TGS) will have large adblue tanks whilst smaller trucks (TGM, TGL) will have a smaller tank. Emulator does need to be programmed for the correct adblue tank size. If you have ordered emulator for TGS/TGX truck it will not work on TGM/TGL trucks and vice versa. Please provide full vehicle details when ordering to ensure we supply correct emulators.

SCANIA EURO 5 P, R, G

It is important to mention that can line connections must be connected at the correct place ensuring can line speed ability to receive and send signals from/to the ECU. Unlike in most Euro 5 trucks where CAN-LINE connections can be taken from OBD port, it is not the case with Scania trucks. CAN-LINES should be connected at engine bay under the cab and extension routed back into the cab

This will ensure optimum adblue emulator performance and longevity.

Please note, CAN-LINE connections will be different for 6 and 8 cylinder engines. Please pay particular attention to this part of instructions.

VOLVO FE, VOLVO FL EURO 6

If you have installed the adblue emulator correctly, but it is not working, please check if the vehicle is fitted with retarder. Our Volvo FL, FE adblue emulators are only suitable for trucks without retarder at the moment.

To be continued….

Are adblue emulators available for MAN trucks?

Adblue emulators are available for most MAN trucks. Main MAN truck models are TGX, TGS, TGM and TGL. For MAN euro 4 and euro 5 models, single Can Smart MAN EURO 5 adblue emulator will suit all of them. Factors such as gearbox being automatic or manual and others will not affect the emulator performance. MAN Euro 4 / MAN Euro 5 adblue emulator will have four wires to connect (can lines plus power supply) Installing MAN Euro 5 adblue emulator is easy and quick. Estimated installation time is 40 minutes.

We have been producing MAN Euro 4/5 adblue emulators for many years now and are quite confident this is one of the best adblue disconnection devices on the market today.

We are also proud to be able to offer MAN Euro 6 adblue emulators. Euro 6 MAN trucks come in same models as Euro 5 trucks, main models being TGX, TGS, TGL & TGM. Although Euro 5 emulator would suit all models without exception, there are couple of variants with Euro 6 trucks. The difference is in adblue tank, they come in two sizes. MAN TGX and TGS are larger/long distance lorries, which would normally have a larger adblue tank. Smaller, town trucks such as TGM or TGL would have a smaller tank. It is very important that you quote the correct vehicle model when ordering your adblue emulator as these will have to programmed according to the truck’s adblue tank volume. So the emulator for MAN TGX could also be installed to MAN TGS, but it would not work 100% on trucks with small adblue tanks like TGM or TGL. Same goes for the smaller models, TGM adblue emulator can be installed to other small truck such as TGL, but not to larger trucks like TGX… This is the only difference between the two adblue emulator models we have for MAN Euro 6 trucks. Can Smart emulator will work on trucks with retarder or without and with any transmission type.

MAN EURO 6 adblue emulator will fully emulate SCR and also NOX systems. Can Smart MAN Euro 6 adblue emulator can be installed to a vehicle which already has SCR or NOX related problems. Emulator will not disconnect or emulate DPF system, which means everything will stay the same with DPF and you do not need to remove the filter or do anything with it. Re-generation will also run as normal.

As with any of our products, our MAN adblue emulators come with instructions, tech support and 2 year warranty.

AdBlue emulators for Mercedes trucks

We have a wide selection of adblue emulators for Mercedes-Benz trucks. For Euro 4/5 Mercedes trucks our Can Smart MB Euro 5 adblue emulator will be suitable for the following models: AXOR, ACTROS, ATEGO, VARIO, ECONIC. Installation to these trucks is not the easiest one if you want it to do it properly and have no error codes on your dash. Although most online retailers will tell you that you will only need to install the emulator box by connecting four wires, in reality there are additional tasks you will need to attend to, to have your adblue emulator performing 100%. 

So to start with you will need to connect 4 wires as with most euro 5 trucks, these connections being for can lines and power supply. You will then need to route another 2-wire harness from the emulator to the engine bay underneath the cab. This needs to be done to fully emulate all SCR system sensors.

After installing adblue emulator, you will need to disable SCR and Nox systems, this is done by removing one fuse and cutting one wire. Although detailed instructions will be supplied, it is probably not the best idea for the novice adblue emulator installer to take on Mercedes Euro 5 adblue emulator installation.

At around 2013 Mercedes introduced a new 4-series trucks known as MP4.

4-series Mercedes trucks can still have Euro 5 emission standard especially if these trucks were manufactured around 2013 – 2014. Even though they are still Euro 5, SCR systems in these vehicles have nothing in common with older MP3 series euro 5 trucks. MP4 Euro 5 Mercedes trucks have SCR system which is a hybrid between euro 5 and euro 6, but way more similar to euro 6 systems than euro 5 system. Hence MP4 Euro 5 trucks will require a dedicated emulator, neither MP3 Euro 5 nor MP4 Euro 6 adblue emulator will be suitable for these trucks. It is very important not to confuse MP3 Euro 5 truck with MP4 Euro 5 truck as these have completely different adblue systems and requires different emulators. MP4 trucks are easy to visually recognise as they would have a newer cab compared to older, MP3 series trucks.

Lastly, we can offer emulators for Mercedes Euro 6 trucks. These are 4-series (MP4) trucks with Euro 6 emission standard systems. After years of development we can now offer ideal solution for the following Mercedes Euro 6 trucks: ACTROS, ATEGO, AROCS, ANTOS. What sets our emulator apart form others is that Can Smart adblue emulator will fully emulate all emission control systems including DPF. It would be recommended to remove DPF filter after installing adblue emulator as it will get full as time goes by. Alternatively, you will need to carry out forced re-generation once filter gets full.

Can Smart Mercedes adblue emulators are suitable for trucks with retarder or without.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss adblue disconnect possibilities for your Mercedes truck.
