Volvo warns some truck engines could be exceeding emission limits

Thomson Reuters

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish truckmaker Volvo warned on Tuesday that an emissions control component used in its trucks was degrading more quickly than expected, which could cause engines to exceed emission limits for nitrogen oxides.

The company said that costs to fix the problem could be large and that it was in the process of informing authorities in various markets.

The largest volume of potentially affected engines has been sold in North America and Europe, Volvo said.
