But the engines run fine without Urea and this is what the battle/delay is really all about: how to enforce consumers to refresh their Urea tanks when it is not mandatory to do so. Honda may have a better solution but that's still in the lab - at least MB's solution is in use currently with many of the larger European trucking fleets.
