Hino Trucks will add a $6,700 surcharge to the base sticker price of its Class-4-through-7 line of commercial trucks to cover the cost of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology it will use to enable its vehicles to comply with EPA 2010 emission regulations.
Hino's surcharge is right about dead center among the cost increases announced to date by several truck OEMs planning to use SCR.
Daimler Trucks North America said it plans to add a $9,000 surcharge to its trucks powered by Detroit Diesel DD15 and DD16 big-bore engines, as well as those equipped with medium-bore DD13 engines, which drops to $7,300 for vehicles equipped with the Cummins ISC8.3 engine and down to $6,700 for trucks equipped with Cummins ISB6.7 engines. Volvo Trucks North America said it will charge $9,600 extra for its SCR-equipped trucks |
