SCR Advantages
NO ACTIVE REGENERATION
For EPA '10, the Volvo SCR solution eliminates soot using only passive regeneration in nearly all applications. For normal on-highway operation, active regeneration has been totally eliminated. No dash lights come on. No special driver training.
BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY
Reduced fuel consumption. Lower operating costs. Volvo’s unparalleled SCR system not only relieves drivers of concern about regeneration; on top of all that, it provides improved fuel efficiency when compared to other systems. Learn more about Volvo's fuel efficiency solutions.
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
SCR technology is proven, with hundreds of thousands of trucks already in use world-wide.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) will be widely and readily available. For every dollar spent on DEF, you'll see roughly $2 in fuel savings.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE
Compared to Massive EGR "solutions", SCR puts less wear on the engine for reduced maintenance.
