Volvo Delivers First Trucks Meeting 2010 Emission Standards for Field Testing
3 October 2007
Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) has delivered five Volvo trucks that meet the US10 truck emission standards to customers for field testing. The US10 standard becomes effective in 2010 and the trucks now delivered are equipped with the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) emission-control systems for NOx aftertreatment.
The VN model trucks have been delivered to Talon Logistics, which will now field test the SCR technology that is common in Europe. To date, the emission requirements in North America were met by applying EGR technology and particle filters. The trucks now being delivered are also equipped with SCR.
VTNA plans to field test eleven Volvo trucks equipped with SCR this year and the increase the number further during 2008.
