Volvo, Mack engines ready for ’07 EPA certification
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Applications have been filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to certify to 2007 emissions standards the new family of engines manufactured by Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks.
Volvo and Mack are subsidiaries of AB Volvo.
The applications cover the Volvo D11, D13 and D16 engines — as well as the Mack MP series — with emissions control technologies to meet the very strict new standards taking effect on diesel engines manufactured after January 1, 2007.
The companies use a combination of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to satisfy the new requirements.
“We believe that this sends a strong message that Mack is ready for 2007,” said Paul Vikner, president and CEO in a press release. “We have worked very hard to get to this point, and we’re confident that our ’07 solution delivers the level of performance and value that our customers expect and demand in a MACK truck.”
