IN 2007 WE CLEANED THE AIR.
IN 2010 WE'RE GOING TO POLISH IT.
In developing our EPA '07 compliant engines, we introduced a host of enhancements that help the environment without sacrificing power and fuel economy. Through innovative applications of EGR and DPF technology, Volvo's '07 engines effectively reduced NOx emissions by 50 percent, and reduced particulate matter by 90 percent.
EPA '10 calls for a further -- and final -- NOx reduction that is 99 percent lower. That's good news for the environment, because it means all 2010 heavy truck diesel engines will have near-zero emissions of particulates and NOx.
These new emission standards have led manufacturers to develop ingenious technologies to reduce emissions to near zero while improving fuel economy using massive EGR. Volvo diesel engines will meet the challenges of EPA '10 with improved fuel economy using the proven and highly efficient SCR process.
