Emissions from diesel engines are of
increasing concern to government regulators around the world.
Buses, trucks, mining vehicles, power generators and other
diesel-based equipment are the source of harmful hydrocarbons,
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) that pollute the
air and are linked to respiratory diseases.
Regulations on new vehicles are important, but since diesel engines
can last 20-30 years, emissions from older diesel engines must be
addressed as well. That’s where BASF’s retrofitting technologies
come in.
BASF is a leading supplier of cost-efficient
diesel-emission-control technologies for the retrofit market,
including Diesel Oxidation Catalysts and Diesel Particulate
Filters, which are in use today on thousands of trucks and buses
around the world.
Here are some highlights of the many retrofit programs successfully
completed by BASF:

Dig” and thousands in the U.S.
- Hong Kong — Over 35,000 vans, trucks, buses
and other vehicles.
