This may explain why the NGD9.3 got a bad reputation among local truckers, being only fitted to some Volkswagen trucks before it got replaced by some Cummins engines.
EPA07 engines did not exist in 2005. Nobody was making the new engines before they were absolutely necessary and 2006 had a huge preorder for people that don't want to deal with the new emissions tech.

However, there are issues with selling used US Spec trucks into Central and South America. We have kits to remove the emission equipment and decertify them to the local emission standard
