Eaton and Tenneco partner to produce new, integrated exhaust thermal management system to meet coming lower NOx standards

Green Car Congress

The integrated exhaust thermal management system will provide heat directly to the vehicle’s aftertreatment system, which is essential for reducing harmful exhaust emissions. Upon heating the SCR catalyst to approximately 200 – 250 degrees Celsius, the aftertreatment system can efficiently convert NO x into clean emissions (e.g.,
