The Diesel Technology Forum has launched a new web site focusing on ways to reduce emissions from existing diesel engines. This site will include methods for modernizing and upgrading existing equipment including:
-
Retrofitting applying emissions filters and catalysts to existing vehicles and equipment.
-
Refueling — using cleaner diesel fuels or emissions-reducing fuel additives.
-
Rebuilding — taking existing engines and upgrading them with hardware and/or software changes.
-
Repowering — replacing older engines with new lower-emitting engines.
-
Retirement — replacing old equipment with new equipment that has lower-emitting engines.
An adjunct to the Environmental Protection Agency web site, the web site will provide current and breaking retrofit news, commitments, and links.
