In 2008, US EPA amended the 1998 locomotive regulation, establishing a Tier 3 and a Tier 4 emission standard, as well as stricter remanufacturing standards for remanufactured Tier 0-2 engines. The key technologies used to achieve these reductions in NO x and PM emissions are exhaust gas recirculation and improvements to the cooling system.

The SKYACTIV-X combines the benefits of a spark-ignition gasoline engine—expansiveness at high rpms and cleaner exhaust emissions— with those of a compression-ignition diesel engine—superior initial response and fuel economy. This, in turn, means that a leaner air-fuel mixture can be burned. Performance and responsiveness.
