Tier 4 Final
HPCR, EXTERNAL CEGR
Why this solution: This Tier 4 Final solution requires no new actions or upkeep so that operators can focus entirely on the work.
How it works: The high-pressure common rail (HPCR) system electronically controls fuel injection for greater fuel economy through more efficient fuel burn. With Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR), exhaust gases are cooled, blended with fresh air, and then returned to the cylinder. The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) manages the additional particulate matter. The DOC converts emissions into neutral gasses and automatically burns it off using heat from the exhaust.
What this means to you: This solution is a maintenance-free emissions solution, requiring no costly DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) to replace and no new fluids to add. Powered by an FPT engine.
