After discussions and agreements for PROCONVE P7 definition and
implementation in Brazil, it has been started the process of
investigation and definition of the best strategy to achieve
emission limits targets.
The OEM's strategies are being defined considering different
factors as system cost, company worldwide strategy, development
lead-time, and others.
An important factor to be considered is the long term strategy
for after-treatment systems to be adopted in the next legislation,
in order to align the current strategy with the future
technologies.
PROCONVE P8 which is expected to be similar than the EURO6
European legislation presents a significant emission restriction
and will drive the strategies to be considered on engine
development activities.
It's expected that the EURO6/P8 after-treatment development
timing and costs will be even more relevant than the engine
development costs.
This paper intends to present the potential strategies for
EURO6/P8 emissions achievement, detailing the technologies that
shall be applied, giving real results already available from
current development in Europe.
