Aftertreatment system maintenance is proving to be more costly than tire maintenance, making it possibly the single most expensive maintenance item on today’s trucks. Parts costs are prohibitive, the ...

Your DPF and DOC don’t fail overnight—they fail slowly, one idle session and one short trip at a time. Some think emissions system issues are bad luck or bad engineering, but the truth is these ...

How DPFs trap soot and ash to reduce emissions. How regular maintenance acn prevent DPF failure and costly replacements. Signs of DPF issues that should prompt immediate attention. How proper oil and ...

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) has continued to improve over its 15-year existence. So have other components of aftertreatment systems (ATS) that help send cleaner exhaust through the DPF.

General Motors has been hard at work developing an aftertreatment system that incorporates an electrically heated diesel particulate filter. According to GM, this technology promises to cut the “fuel ...

This two-stage diesel particulate filter (DPF) muffler cleaning system is designed for periodic cleaning through the DPF life cycle. Self-contained Pulse Cleaner dislodges diesel ash and soot and ...

With the current construction industry emphasis on ensuring off-highway equipment is environmentally responsible and where necessary compliant, German-based Huss Group is hitting North America with ...

Increasingly stringent diesel engine exhaust emissions regulations have, over the past 20 years, reduced output of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 95% and particulate emissions by 90% in heavy trucks. These ...
