13 New Long-Term Compliance Technologies - (1) Urea selective catalytic reduction(scr) + High-pressure fuel injector + Cooled EGR PM is reduced by the high-pressure fuel injector which improves combustion. NOx is reduced by the cooled EGR (improving combustion) and by the urea SCR. SCR is a catalytic system that reduces NOx into harmless nitrogen, using ammonia generated from urea solution as reducing agent.

23 New Technologies and Compliance to New Long-Term Regulations Adopted Technologies and Fuel Economy Compliance: Summary (1) A total of 25 diesel engine models for vehicles exceeding a GVW 3.5t have been certified as compliant to the New Long-Term Emission Regulations. (Engines with the same displacement but different emission reducing technologies and equipped with a hybrid system are counted as constituting different models. Engines for buses but used in trucks are counted as belonging to the same model as the engines for buses.) (2) All diesel engines for HDV adopt NOx catalyzing or DPF as a fullscale after-treatment technology. Also, most of these engines are combined with common-rail fuel injection, VG turbocharging, cool EGR and continuous control technologies. (3) Regarding after-treatment technologies, 3 large engine models have a urea SCR system, one small engine model an NOx storage catalyst, and 22 engine models a DPF. 23

24 3. Technologies for Compliance to Post-New Long-Term Regulations 24

25 Technological Approach to Post-New Long-Term Regulations (1) Reduce PM and NOx at engine outlet levels by improving combustion with high-pressure injection, cool EGR, etc.; apply after-treatment (DPF, NOx catalysts) to further reduce below the limit values. (2) Candidate NOx catalysts under consideration are SCR and storage-reduction catalysts. (3) To upgrade the DPF and NOx catalyst and other after-treatment systems, not only advance the performances of catalysts but also optimize exhaust conditions such as exhaust temperature and oxygen concentration, which will require even more sophisticated engine control. 25

Urea solution servicing infrastructure is a must for spreading SCR to light/medium trucks. 26
