The new clean air technology will reduce NOx, hydrocarbons and CO2 emissions. This technology help automakers in abiding by the U.S. Tier 3 and EU6 and 7 emissions legislation and will also ensure good performance and durability of the vehicle.
Tenneco’s Hydrocarbon Manifold Dosing solution directs diesel fuel straight to the engine manifold. This is a low cost solution to make the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter more efficient.
The Compact Mixing Zone solution of Tenneco, combined with the SDPF technology, avoids the formation of any deposit while converting injected urea droplets into ammonia. This solution also makes the after-treatment system more compact in size.
