We’re just now beginning to accept that we have to do things differently from what we have always done in order to maintain our aftertreatment systems. We’ve had 14 years to figure it out, yet diesel ...

Diesel particulate filters appeared in 2007 model-year trucks. After nearly 10 years we are still grappling with maintenance issues. Diesel particulate filters appeared in 2007 model-year trucks.

While the diesel particulate filter itself requires little maintenance, proper attention to related systems will help avoid problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2007 emissions ...

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) has continued to improve over its 15-year existence. So have other components of aftertreatment systems (ATS) that help send cleaner exhaust through the DPF.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) mufflers on on-highway trucks capture ash and soot generated during the diesel combustion cycle and continuously combust Diesel particulate filter (DPF) mufflers on ...

Diesel particulate filters allow truck diesels to meet ever-tightening emissions standards and help engine makers tune to minimize diesel exhaust fluid consumption. The DPF’s job is similar to that of ...

To paraphrase Pete Townshend of The Who, we're not trying to cause a big sensation; we're just talkin' 'bout regeneration. DPF regeneration, that is. It's the process of cleaning a diesel particulate ...

CCJ Innovators profiles carriers and fleets that have found innovative ways to overcome trucking’s challenges. If you know a carrier that has displayed innovation, contact CCJ Editor Jason Cannon at ...

How DPFs trap soot and ash to reduce emissions. How regular maintenance acn prevent DPF failure and costly replacements. Signs of DPF issues that should prompt immediate attention. How proper oil and ...
