2010 Emissions Learning Center

2010 Video Discussion - Simplicity or Complexity?

Owners of diesel powered vehicles are all too familiar with change. In 2010, new EPA regulations call for an 83% reduction in NOx (nitrogen oxides), gaseous pollutants formed during diesel combustion.

The videos below look at the two different approaches to meeting the new 2010 emissions regulations.

SCR - Selective Catalytic Reduction
  • Addresses NOx after it has formed in the engine
  • Complicated process
  • Requires extra hardware
  • Requires additional fluid
  • Adds extra weight
  • Requires extra steps for maintenance
EGR - MaxxForce In-cylinder with Advanced EGR
  • Fuel economy
  • EPA compliant
  • Lower operating costs
  • No urea required
  • No payload penalty
  • No new training
  • No impact on TEMs
The Choice: MaxxForce or SCR
  • Look at SCR componentry
  • Look at SCR operational needs
  • Fuel economy comparison
  • Look at In-cylinder hardware
  • How In-cylinder solution is possible
