Navistar unveiled its 2010 MaxxForce 13-liter Advanced EGR engine at the World of Concrete show in Las Vegas this week.


To meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2010 emissions standards for on-highway diesel engines, MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines will use proven technologies such as advanced fuel injection, air management, electronic controls and proprietary combustion technology. Navistar's EGR approach will not require the use of urea or the addition of on-vehicle urea storage tanks and additional electronics required by SCR systems (which are being used by all other heavy duty engine manufacturers to meet 2010 regulations.)

"We've been conducting rigorous testing and analysis in our engine labs and currently have 2010 prototype engines installed in more than 25 medium- and heavy-duty test trucks," said Ramin Younessi, group vice president, truck and engine product development. "These test vehicles are on the road in real-world conditions, in fleets and in the hands of our customers. We will have logged millions of miles of real-world experience before the launch of these engines."

"Our strategy of 2010 emissions compliance through the use of an EGR-only solution is on track," said Jim Hebe, Navistar senior vice president, North American sales operations. "Through our line-up of MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines, we're providing customers with a simple and straightforward solution that places the burden of emissions compliance on the manufacturer, not the customer."
