What we don’t know (yet)
No details have been released yet on the emissions control system. Likely it retains the previous generation system (DOC, DPF, SCR, AmOx catalyst) and that it does not certify to MY 2024 California low NOx standards – or it would have been called out.
We have summarized the recently announced low NOx engines for long-haul trucks separately (link below) and will report on the details here when available. Sign up below to stay informed.
