  1. Starting 2024-04-01 (April Fool's day but for real) removing EGR, DPF, Adblue or any other pollution reducing equipment from a commercial truck results in 30000 EUR (about $33k) fine if caught. Trucks also have mandatory yearly inspection where these things are checked. The fine also applies to older vehicles that had those features from the factory! That's why you really really want to clean the DPF filters and other parts where maintenance is cheaper than replacing parts.

  2. If you want to pronounce Ylivoimala correctly, think it as a sentence of short madeup English words: "ju lih vo'ee mah lah". Finnish is pronounced with clearly distinct syllables and if you want to sound native, the pitch of your voice should raise for the start of each syllable and go down during the syllable.
