Emissions technology
The benefits of integrating our engine technology go beyond meeting EU Stage V/U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards. Our solutions also provide OEMs with improved performance and fuel efficiency, dependable power and a lifetime of low costs for the operator.
Thoughtful product development and a flexible approach to integration mean we have a wide range of options available to suit every customer’s needs.
However unusual or challenging your application, we have the technology and expertise to handle it:
- Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF): used with an SCR to reduce NOx levels by more than 90 percent before they exit the exhaust pipe
- Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC): this uses a chemical catalyst to reduce particulate matter and is part of a catalytic converter solution
- Diesel particulate filter (DPF) – this captures particulates formed during combustion
- Cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) – an aftertreatment technology for NOx reduction and thermal management
- High pressure common rail fuel system – added to improve performance and fuel consumption
- Selective catalytic reduction (SCR): a NOx reduction solution
- Turbocharging – our turbocharging solutions, including wastegate and series, focus on getting more power and torque to the engine, again improving performance and efficiency
When it comes to integrating our engine technologies, we’ll be as flexible as you need us to be. We offer an incredible number of configuration and integration options, with pipe positions and connection points designed to suit your application. Fuel filters can be fitted on either side of an engine – or even integrated deeper if you’re tight on space.
Dependable filters
Our filters are also good for life and many of them are service free, making them a dependable and economical choice.
If you don’t need us to be so versatile, then that’s fine too. Customers looking for faster, more straightforward solutions can choose from one of several more standardised versions of our technologies.
Our engine technologies allow customers to meet Stage V/Tier 4 Final emissions standards in a flexible and cost effective way. As well as delivering the necessary emission reductions, we’ll work with you to improve power density and fuel efficiency – and get the maximum value from your engine.
