Euro 6 — Here's What It Means for You
Driving Toward a Cleaner Future with Suttons Kenworth & DAF
From November 1, 2024, Australia will begin implementing Euro 6 (Stage C) emission standards for new heavy vehicles under ADR 80/04. By November 1, 2025, all newly supplied trucks must meet these stricter environmental requirements. This marks a major shift in the transport industry—and Suttons Trucks are ready to lead the way.
What Is Euro 6?
Euro 6 is a globally recognised emissions standard designed to reduce harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter. It aligns Australia with leading markets such as the EU, UK, US, and Japan, and promises cleaner air and better health outcomes for all Australians.
