As of November 1, 2025, all new heavy vehicles supplied to the Australian market must comply with Euro VI emission standards, as mandated by Australian Design Rule (ADR) 80/04. This transition from Euro V to Euro VI represents a major shift for businesses operating trucks in Australia, aiming to significantly reduce nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and particulate matter (PM) emissions to improve air quality and public health.
What is Euro VI Emission Standards?
The Euro VI emission standards set stricter limits on vehicle emissions, particularly targeting NOₓ, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. These standards require advanced exhaust after-treatment technologies such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to minimize harmful pollutants. Australian Design Rule (ADR) 80/04 aligns with these regulations, enforcing cleaner and more efficient heavy vehicles in the country.
Significance of Euro VI Compliance
✔ Environmental Impact: Reduces air pollution, improving overall public health and environmental sustainability.
✔ Regulatory Compliance: Ensures that businesses meet legal requirements, avoiding potential fines or restrictions.
✔ Fuel Efficiency Improvements: While initial costs may increase, long-term operational savings can be achieved through optimized engine performance.
✔ Global Standardization: Aligns Australia with international emission benchmarks, improving compatibility with global transport networks.
How Will Euro VI Impact Your Fleet?
The introduction of Euro VI means that truck manufacturers in Australia, including Isuzu Australia, must implement stricter emissions controls. Here’s what that means for your fleet:
✔ Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR): AdBlue usage is now mandatory for compliance.
✔ Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF): These will be standard to further reduce exhaust emissions.
✔ New Engine Calibrations: Designed to improve fuel efficiency and meet new emission requirements.
While these enhancements are beneficial for the environment, they also mean higher upfront costs and increased maintenance. With the transition deadline fast approaching, many businesses are securing Euro V trucks while they remain available.
Changes in Isuzu FVY, FXY, and FYJ Models (Euro V vs. Euro VI)
At STG Global, we frequently utilize Isuzu FVY, FXY, and FYJ models. The upcoming Euro VI versions of these trucks introduce key modifications:

What This Means for Customers
1. AdBlue Now Mandatory
All Euro VI models require AdBlue, increasing operational costs for businesses.
2. Smaller Engine for FVY Model
A transition from a 7.8L engine to a 6.7L engine may impact performance.
3. Higher Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)
The new Euro VI models provide increased payload capacity, making them more efficient.
4. Higher Costs
Due to advanced emissions technology, the Euro VI models will be more expensive.
5. Longer Lead Times Expected
The rollout of Euro VI models is happening in stages, meaning availability may be limited.
Act Now to Avoid Price Increases
At STG Global, we still have limited stock of Euro V Isuzu chassis, including FVY, FXY, and FYJ models, which do not require AdBlue or DPF. Businesses looking for cost-effective truck solutions should act now to secure an STG truck mounted on a Euro V truck before prices increase.
If you’re planning for a Euro VI fleet, pre-order now to avoid delays and ensure availability before the transition deadline.
