THE ADVANTAGES

ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF VERTICAL INSTALLATION.

Thanks to our unique vertical installation and rooftop diffuser mount, the SCR and DPF system produces less heat in the engine compartment. It also provides easier accessibility for safer maintenance. In this vertical configuration, the DPF and SCR components and sensors are better protected from damaging dirt, dust, water, etc. The innovative diffuser system reduces exhaust peak temperature by 50% at 6 inches, and prevents water from infiltrating the exhaust line. The roof flush mount improves the appearance of the coach.

NEAR-ZERO EMISSIONS

Volvo engineers created a system that delivers near-zero emissions of particulates and NOx. Volvo’s D13 engine with advanced SCR is a highly efficient solution that reduces diesel emissions and improves air quality in accordance with EPA ’10 regulations.

IMPROVED FUEL EFFICIENCY

Thanks to Volvo engines with SCR exhaust aftertreatment system, we’re able to lower fuel consumption. The 2010 D13 engine’s unparalleled SCR system provides improved fuel efficiency over previous D13 engines.

NO ACTIVE REGENERATION

A DPF accumulates particulate matter that periodically must be burned off using a process called regeneration. With Volvo’s 2010 SCR technology, this regeneration occurs automatically—and the driver proceeds without even being aware the process is taking place. Under normal driving conditions, there’s never a need to park and perform an “active” regeneration.
