MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. Source of data: US EPA (2019). This has resulted in higher catalyst loading per volume of substrate and led to downsizing of systems from those available in 2010. Chart: MECA.
