Commonly utilized direct injection diesel systems, with later models featuring electronic fuel injection (EFI) and potentially common rail systems depending on the specific engine code and emissions regulations of the target market.
Emissions
Emission Controls:
Covers emissions control systems relevant to the period, including EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), catalytic converters (for gasoline and some diesel variants), and potentially DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters) in later European models.
🔧 Transmission
Standard Transmission
Manual Gearbox:
Manual transmissions were common, typically 5-speed or 6-speed units, designed for durability and efficiency in commercial applications.
Optional Transmission
Automatic Gearbox:
Automatic transmissions were available on certain models, particularly for applications prioritizing ease of operation in stop-and-go traffic.
