Hino Will Use Selective Catalytic Reduction for 2010
Wednesday. November 26. 2008
Hino Motor Sales announced today that it will utilize Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet the strigent 2010 emissions regulations.
"The EPA 2010 emissions regulations calls for more than an 80% reduction in NOx over the 2007 emissions regulations, and the most environmentally friendly, reliable soultion to meet this challengeis SCR" stated Glenn Ellis, Vice President , Marketing and Dealer Operations for Hino Trucks. SCR has been used in Europe for the past three years with an estimated 600,000 plus vehicles running with this technology. In addition to Hino, OEMs such as Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Volvo, and others will use SCR technology to meet the 2010 emissions regulations.
"SCR is an exhaustive after-treatment technology that reduces NOx significantly from the exhaust by injecting a precise amount of Diesel Ehaust Fluid (DEF) downstream of the engine" explained George Daniels, Vice President, Service Operations for Hino. He went on to add, "It allows the engine to operate at a max performance level without the additional engine stress needed to control NOx with EGR alone".
