Having better control over the combustion process reduces the emission load on the exhaust aftertreatment systems. Eminox SCRT technology can significantly reduce harmful diesel exhaust gases, particularly in urban operating conditions. NO x emissions regulations are also likely to be further tightened. —Andy Dickinson.
