Mitsubishi Fuso to use BlueTec SCR technology
By CCJ Staff
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America Inc. announced that its U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2010-emissions compliant commercial trucks will use engines equipped with BlueTec technology developed by Mitsubishi Fuso and Daimler AG. BlueTec is an emissions control technology that utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
“BlueTec SCR represents an excellent solution for Mitsubishi Fuso’s North American customers to meet EPA 2010 emissions regulations,” says Leighton Good, MFTA manager of product and applications. “It is a proven easy-to-use technology designed to increase fuel economy while protecting the environment.”
MFTA says BlueTec emissions technology requires no complex changes to the engine’s operation; rather, it provides full emissions compliance by treating the downstream exhaust gas. The system consists of components already introduced to meet EPA’s 2007 emissions regulations -- the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalyst -- plus an SCR catalyst and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank, doser and control module.
A DEF gauge will be integrated into the instrument panel to allow the driver to monitor the DEF tank level. In addition, onboard diagnostics will monitor the function of the emissions system to maintain EPA 2010 compliance and communicate system status to the driver.
While DEF consumption will depend on driving conditions, load, terrain and other factors, MFTA expects refill intervals to be relatively infrequent. DEF will be available for purchase from authorized Mitsubishi Fuso dealers, as well as at service stations across the country. |
