OSHKOSH CORPORATION ANNOUNCED TODAY that Daimler Trucks North America LLC, a Daimler AG Company, will supply engines to the Oshkosh Corporation Fire & Emergency businesses.
A press release issued by the company reports that Daimler will provide the 2010 EPA emissions standards compliant Detroit Diesel DD13™ diesel engines to Pierce Manufacturing, North America’s largest manufacturer of fire and rescue apparatus.
The DD13 is an advanced design that offers seamless integration of BlueTec® selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology without compromising power, fuel economy or performance, according to their statement.
Daimler Trucks further states that SCR is a proven emissions-reducing technology with the ability to deliver near-zero emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a smog-causing pollutant while offering fuel consumption improvements as well. The technology works by injecting diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), a simple solution of water and urea, into the exhaust stream. DEF works with the heat of the exhaust and a catalyst to convert NOx into nitrogen and water vapor – two harmless and natural components of air. Utilizing SCR to reduce emissions allows the engine to produce efficient power and torque.
