Advanced EGR

MaxxForce® Advanced EGR. The No-Hassle 2010 Solution.

Emissions should be on our minds, not yours.

At International®, the customer's best interests always come first. So when EPA emissions requirements tighten, we shoulder the responsibility of compliance for you. It's why we introduced MaxxForce Advanced EGR technology to meet 2010 emissions requirements. It requires no significant changes to your drivers' behavior. And with no equipment to add, you'll enjoy extra payload capacity (and no body mounting issues). Finally, no liquid urea means no added costs or extra stops to fill-up. MaxxForce Advanced EGR. Just turn the key and drive.

 

2010 Requirements

MaxxForce® Advanced EGR. The No-Hassle 2010 Solution.

The EPA got tough, so we give you an easy choice.

This year, the EPA requires diesel exhaust emissions to be reduced by 98%. Great for the environment. But it caught other engine manufacturers off guard. They fell back on liquid urea SCR, a technology that requires you to add after-treatment equipment and regularly fill up with liquid urea. International® took a simpler approach, perfecting its proprietary Advanced EGR system. It requires no liquid urea, no additional equipment, and no maintenance or technician training. For 2010, there's only one choice that lets you focus on your business: MaxxForce Advanced EGR.

 

How Advanced EGR Works

MaxxForce® Advanced EGR. The No-Hassle 2010 Solution.

Eliminates any hassle on your part.

MaxxForce® Advanced EGR reduces emissions inside the engine itself. It simply recirculates part of an engine's exhaust back to the cylinders, slowing and cooling the combustion process and burning off pollutants. MaxxForce Advanced EGR achieves greatly reduced emissions through a combination of increased injection pressure, improved exhaust flow and refined calibrations–and absolutely zero extra effort from you.

2010 FAQ

MaxxForce® Advanced EGR. The No-Hassle 2010 Solution.

What is MaxxForce Advanced EGR?

MaxxForce Advanced EGR is Navistar's no-hassle solution to 2010 emissions standards. It's built into every MaxxForce engine we make.

What do you mean by "no-hassle"?

When it came to choosing a technology for meeting the 2010 EPA emissions requirements, we made our decision with our no hassle philosophy in mind. For us that meant choosing a technology that doesn’t add operational costs for customers so it's smarter for their business. It also meant choosing an option that doesn’t create operational changes for customers making it easier on them. And, of course, a technology that meets the EPA regulations so it's cleaner than any engine we've ever built.

What's the biggest difference between MaxxForce Advanced EGR and other 2010 emissions solutions?

The biggest difference is, we don't make our customers shoulder the responsibility of compliance. We do it for you.

Why is Navistar the only OEM offering an in-cylinder solution?

We pursued Advanced EGR because when it comes to our customers, we have a philosophy to deliver them a vehicle that is no hassle. When we looked at emissions from a customer standpoint, Advanced EGR was the only no hassle option. We developed a high-pressure fuel injection system years ago, knowing that this technology would allow us-and only us-to deliver a superior emissions solution.

What does EGR mean?

EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. In a nutshell, cooled diesel exhaust is recirculated back into the engine, reducing emissions in cylinder before it comes back out.

How will MaxxForce Advanced EGR affect my bottom line?

Because there is no added equipment (in other words, added weight) you’ll benefit from higher payloads.

How will it affect my operating costs?

With Advanced EGR, you don’t have to add costs for buying, handling and maintaining liquid urea, or training drivers and technicians on how to handle liquid urea.

Will it affect engine reliability and durability?

No. The MaxxForce Advanced EGR is based upon the technology solution we brought to market in 2007. This approach means customers do not have to rely on unproven technology.

What are the 2010 EPA emissions requirements?

Since January 2010, the EPA requires new vehicles to achieve a diesel exhaust emissions regulations limit, which is 0.50 NOx (g/hp-hr), down from 2.0 in 2007.
