Maybe.

If the world of regulatory compliance, non-compliance is assumed until compliance is demonstrated.

Ford is on the ropes. If they could sell the ECOnetic and make a profit, why would they not import them?

There is a huge difference between the requirements of the Euro 5 spec and EPA Tier II. To comply with Tier II a barrier filter is needed. The filter rig for Super Duty costs $4,500 dealers price. Maybe the filter for a ECOnetic diesel may cost less...like $3,500.

I keep telling you, its the regs.
