White Papers and Opinion Features
Thank you for visiting FactsAboutSCR.com where you can find the latest news and information on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), a diesel emissions control technology that offers diesel fuel economy and operational advantages while optimizing engine efficiency and reducing criteria pollutants recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to near-zero levels.
SCR is one of the only emissions reduction technologies that is as good for business as it is for the environment, and the reach of SCR is broad. SCR technology was adopted by passenger car and light truck manufacturers serving the U.S. starting in 2008. Those manufacturers include: Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Mini and Volkswagen.
With its superior return in both economic and environmental benefits, SCR is also being recognized as the emissions control technology of choice among manufacturers in the commercial trucking industry, including: Daimler Trucks (Freightliner & Western Star), PACCAR (Kenworth & Peterbilt), Volvo Trucks (Volvo & Mack). Leading engine manufacturers, including Cummins and Detroit Diesel Corporation, have also recognized SCR to be the preferred diesel emissions control technology to meet EPA 2010 standards.
FactsAboutSCR.com will continue to educate, inform and keep you updated as the focus on EPA 2010 and more stringent regulations draw near and the inevitable implementation of Selective Catalytic Reduction technology becomes a reality.
Click here for interviews with industry experts, who will tell you about the importance of SCR in their own words.
Did you know? According to an online study conducted in May 2009, more than half (51.2%) of truck buyers are likely or very likely to consider SCR for their EPA 2010 engine purchase, compared to only 31.2% that are likely or very likely to consider increased EGR. Find out more by clicking here.
