Emitec’s E-SCR system for NOx reduction

Emissions reductions, Engine, News_engine, News_Technologie, Technology

Municipal vehicles and delivery vans are often driven for only short distances in city centres. Under these driving conditions, they do not achieve the exhaust gas temperatures required to cut nitrogen oxide emissions effectively with conventional SCR systems (selective catalytic reduction). Emitec’s E-SCR® system cleans the exhaust gas of diesel vehicles and reduces harmful nitrogen oxides
