The latest diesel emissions technology from Johnson Matthey has demonstrated that older trucks can be as clean as modern ones.

In a recent trial, the SCRT® system was installed into 16 grocery trucks in North California and tested over 1,000 hours as the trucks hauled their products around stores.

The 4-way SCRT® exhaust emission control system combines Johnson Matthey's two-stage CRT particulate filter system with a selective catalytic reduction catalyst enabling it to reduce particulate matter by 85 per cent and oxides of nitrogen by a minimum of 60 per cent.

Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are also reduced by over 90 per cent.

The study shows that a four-year-old truck could run with NOx emissions lower than those found in brand new vehicles.

Marty Lassen, Director of Commercial Development and Marketing at Johnson Matthey, said: "Johnson Matthey is extremely pleased with the real world results that the SCRT® system has shown.

"This will literally give a new lease on life to many older trucks that are capable of providing ongoing service, but in stock form cannot meet new ARB private fleet emissions standards," he added.
