What is frustrating is how the US OEM’s stick with the goofy setup they force down our throats. There are far better solutions that are more efficient and reduce complexity which also decreases maintenance and downtime.

Amminex has long had a great emissions solution ready to drop in to a diesel vehicle from cars on up thru Class 8 trucks, equipment, even locomotives.

It uses a 100% urea in a solid substrate. Urea is fed to SCR in a gaseous form, eliminating need for DEF injector and filter. And since fully functional at engine startup, eliminates need for EGR and associated nonsense on the motor. This causes less soot to be created thereby decreasing regen events and increasing DPF life cycle. All this while delivering lower emissions than current systems.

The Urea tanks are changed out just like a forklift operator changes propane tanks. The OEM can spec size of tanks to match lube service intervals. Tanks are recycled and recharged with urea. None of the messy DEF issues and none of the shelf life problems with DEF. a charged container can be stored for 5 years.

So when the US OEM’s finally pull their heads out of their back side, then I will consider one of their new diesels.
