Businesses that own and operate commercial trucks face some important purchasing decisions, as the 2010 deadline approaches for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) more stringent emissions  standards .  International®  MaxxForce^®Advanced EGR  engines are fully EPA-compliant, offering a hassle-free approach to emissions control that is designed to let commercial truck driver’s drive and owners focus on their business.  MaxxForce^® Advanced EGR engines use proven technologies such as advanced fuel injection, air management, electronic controls, and proprietary combustion technology. 

MaxxForce Advanced EGR or SCR?

MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines deliver lower operating costs and minimize driver and technician hassle.

The MaxxForce Advanced EGR approach will not require the use of urea or the addition of heavy on-vehicle urea storage tanks, converters, heaters, and the additional electronics required by SCR systems. MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines are a no-hassle, business-as-usual solution, a solution that focuses on delivering lower operating costs and less driver and technician hassle.  Read more.

Other major truck and engine manufacturers are choosing to meet 2010 emissions through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which requires that drivers ensure trucks have an additional operating fluid, made of urea, and aftertreatment equipment that will add hundreds of pounds to each vehicle. Without the addition of the urea fluid, these trucks will not be in EPA compliance. 

The MaxxForce Advanced EGR solution provides considerable weight advantages, less complexity and operational advantages for you.

Customers in Iowa are already using MaxxForce engines.  Industry trade editors recently drove our 2010 emission-compliant trucks in real world conditions and they came away pretty impressed. This was their first chance to get behind the wheel and see for themselves how MaxxForce^® engines perform on-the-road using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to meet 2010 emissions requirements.

Their stories, which are in magazines now, outline the "near-transparent performance" of the 2010 Big Bore MaxxForce 11 and MaxxForce 13 engines, as well as the enhancements of our medium duty MaxxForce DT and MaxxForce 7 models, all using MaxxForce Advanced EGR to meet the new emissions standards.
