Manufacturers continue to optimize diesel emission controls, such as DOC, DPF and SCR, in order to promote uniform catalyst coating, improve NO x conversion efficiency, reduce back pressure on the engine, and reduce thermal mass. Better catalysts and urea dosing systems can achieve high NOx conversion during lower temperature operation.
