However, in light of the Euro4 emmission regulations, MAN have taken the decision in light of Cummins intransigence on upgrading the ISMe engine to comply, to replace it completly with the new series of MAN D.20 engines [tp://www.bizbuzzmedia.com/blogs/big_lorry_blog/archive/2005/12/2.aspx]. If MAN follow the convention set by PACCAR in retiring the Foden brand, then it is not liekly that the ERF brand will survive much longer
