We all know by now that the mandated 2007 and 2010 emissions standard rules radically changed on-highway diesel-powered trucks and tractors. To reduce emissions to satisfy the Environmental Protection ...

While the diesel particulate filter itself requires little maintenance, proper attention to related systems will help avoid problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2007 emissions ...

How DPFs trap soot and ash to reduce emissions. How regular maintenance acn prevent DPF failure and costly replacements. Signs of DPF issues that should prompt immediate attention. How proper oil and ...

Careful DPF maintenance will boost both your uptime and bottom line. When the diesel particulate filter was introduced with the change to 2007 engine technology, manufacturers were careful to explain ...

Every truck manufactured with a 2007 and later diesel engine is equipped with a diesel particulate filter. Many bus fleets started using them in 2005. There are something like 2 million DPFs, as ...

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) mufflers on on-highway trucks capture ash and soot generated during the diesel combustion cycle and continuously combust Diesel particulate filter (DPF) mufflers on ...

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) has continued to improve over its 15-year existence. So have other components of aftertreatment systems (ATS) that help send cleaner exhaust through the DPF.

CCJ Innovators profiles carriers and fleets that have found innovative ways to overcome trucking’s challenges. If you know a carrier that has displayed innovation, contact CCJ Editor Jason Cannon at ...

You may recall when the EPA mandated that, starting in 2007, all new on-highway diesel engines must limit the emission of particulate matter. To comply with this regulation, equipment makers ...

Ford of Europe is making diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems available across a large percentage of its vehicle model lines and will now also offer ‘retro-fit’ systems for the majority of ...

Diesel particulate filters allow truck diesels to meet ever-tightening emissions standards and help engine makers tune to minimize diesel exhaust fluid consumption. The DPF’s job is similar to that of ...
