What makes SCR a smart investment?
SCR increases fuel efficiency by around 3-5% – returning $3,000+/year (based on $3 per gallon) in annual fuel savings. Its reliable and focused downstream functionality actually lowers operating costs with less operational impact and less maintenance. SCR technology is simple and convenient. SCR engines require only a small supply of Diesel Exhaust Fluid, otherwise known as urea, to run. This supply will be readily available at fuel retailers as well as dealerships. The cost of Diesel Exhaust Fluid should be far less than the price of diesel fuel and will be available at the pump or in a variety of gallon-sized packages. It is estimated that a typical North American fleet sleeper tractor with a 20-gallon Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank will have to fill up only once about every two weeks. That same 20-gallon tank will last across two cross-country hauls or a range of 5,000-6,000 miles. SCR engine systems perform focused functions with maximum results – no trade-offs. That means that having S
