ApplicationsOn RoadOver the past decade the world has seen steady growth in the number of diesel-powered vehicles. Diesel remains the dominant source of power for heavy-duty trucks and is increasingly being introduced for lighter-duty vehicles and passenger cars.
In Europe, diesel increasing dominates the on-road market, including passenger cars. The US and worldwide diesel markets are projected to grow significantly. In recent years, the combination of innovation in emission technology along with tougher regulations has resulted in significant reductions of harmful exhaust emissions. Clean Diesel’s technologies have contributed to this improvement, and continue to offer advanced emissions solutions to both OE’s for all on-road applications, as well as retrofit solutions for existing vehicles. As emissions regulations continue to tighten and OEs look at the entire drive train as a holistic system from an emissions and performance perspective, Clean Diesel’s technologies provide a valuable solution., thus meeting ever-stricter emissions standards and reducing the overall capital costs of the total system. Importantly, the integral energy efficiencies associated with many of Clean Diesel’s technologies also provide a valuable solution for OEs to meet and exceed new US-based CAFE standards. These technologies include our SCR and fuel-borne catalyst solutions. |
Annually, more than 13 million new diesel engines are put into service worldwide for transportation applications, growing the existing fleet to some 100 million diesel engines already in service.
