Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Pollution Reduction

Heavy-duty diesel engines produce emissions which are damaging to health and also contribute to airborne pollution including: Particulate matter (PM) typically consisting of particles of carbon (soot) and ash (produced from oil and fuel additives) NO and NO2 (collectively known as NOx) Unburnt hydrocarbons derived from fuel (HC) Carbon Monoxide (CO) For those emissions various types of legislation has been introduced around the world to combat airborne pollution. These include the Euro regulations (covering the European Union), the EPA regulations in the US (as well as the CARB limits in California) the Bharat standards in India, the NLT standards in Japan along with regulations covering China and Brazil.
