Emissions regulations uphold ‘technological excellence’

SAE 100 Future look: The automotive and transportation industries are some of the most regulated due to the strict emissions requirements in the development of diesel engines, which affect the future of all powertrains.

The on- and off-highway mobility industries are some of the most regulated due to the strict emissions requirements in the development of diesel engines, which affect the future of all powertrains. Manufacturers have to stay on the cutting edge to provide engines that have tangible performance improvements as well as significant pollutant reductions. As emissions requirements keep on advancing and become more stringent, manufacturers must focus on the future.

The recent history of internal-combustion engines has proven the dramatic extent to which emissions have been cut. The diesel engine itself has seen revolutionary results, and the new technologies we've commercialized-such as common rail injection systems, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) devices, and engine electronic fuel management-are already capable of meeting future regulations. We are convinced that diesel engine technology is the cleanest as well as the most versatile and efficient for the road transport industry-today and in the future.\
