The Diesel Exhaust Fluid Forum will be held Nov. 11-12 in La Jolla, Calif.
The conference is targeted at U.S. road transport industry executives and their suppliers to give insight into the commercial opportunities and concerns created by stricter heavy duty diesel vehicle emissions regulations that go into effect in January 2010.
It is sponsored by Integer, which consults on global emissions regulations.
Starting in 2010, heavy duty diesel vehicle operators who buy new trucks and buses will be required to meet new EPA emissions regulations. SCR technology (selective catalytic reduction) is one of the solutions to this requirement and SCR trucks will be hitting the highway in large numbers from early 2010. With SCR vehicles comes the need for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), a urea solution that continuously reduces NOx emissions in the exhaust as a key component of the SCR process. All SCR vehicles need DEF and therefore a new market is being created for on-highway and fleet depot refilling.
The DEFF '08 Forum will shed light and foster discussion on the commercial realities for all the stakeholders. Thirty panelists and speakers from entitities such as Daimler Trucks North America, FedEx, the Department of Energy, American Petroleum Institute, California Air Resources Board and TravelCenters of America, will discuss the commercial impact of 2010 emissions regulations on the heavy duty truck industry.
"Our purpose is to create an independent meeting place for all the stakeholders in the coming US market for DEF, to come together and discuss the commercial issues that matter most, said Tim Cheyne, Integer's director of emissions research. "Successful implementation of SCR for
US2010 will require close collaboration by different industry sectors, and
some have not worked together before. There is a clear need for this timely discussion and we have been delighted with the response from industry and regulators."
