Euro 6 Compliant

January 2015 and January 2016 see the introduction of Euro VI regulations for newly registered vehicles. In order to comply with the regulations which, primarily call for further reductions in levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, vehicle manufacturers have had to overcome significant challenges in modern engine technology and management.

Euro VI has also presented new challenges for us as manufacturers. Higher under bonnet temperatures, higher turbo pressures, increased coolant system pressures and stronger negative pressures in intake systems, are typical problems which have had to be overcome. LHSS have been well prepared for the challenges ahead.

Working with several major OE vehicle producers, LHSS already have turbo-charger (CAC), coolant and air intake hoses, approved for Euro VI vehicles. Using high quality silicone compounds, and new fabrics capable of withstanding 250⁰C in our CAC hoses and revised constructions for coolant hoses, both are more than capable of performing reliably on any modern engine. Our range of OAT resistant and fluorosilicone lined hoses, ensure all potential issues are covered now and well in to the future.

Difficult technical challenges have been met in designing a range of air intake hoses. Maintaining a high degree of rigidity to withstand strong, negative pressures while remaining flexible enough to cope with significant movement between air filter and engine, requires a complex construction. LHSS have met all requirements in many Euro VI applications.

LHSS have met all the challenges for Euro VI and can offer assistance with design, providing quality silicone hoses for all applications.
