Cleaner Emissions
  • With cooled EGR, cooled exhaust gases are re-circulated back into the combustion chamber, lowering the burning temperature of the combustion event and, as a result, reducing oxides of nitrogen (NOx). International is using this proven system as a platform to reduce emissions across its diesel engine product lines. Along with other emissions-reducing technologies, emissions from the Power Stroke Diesel V-8 engine satisfy post-2004 standards and achieve 20 to 38 percent NOx reduction.
"The Power Stroke Diesel has a solid reputation and tremendous customer acceptance. In August, we will build our two millionth Power Stroke Diesel," said Fotsch. "98.9 percent of the engines we've sold since 1994 are still on the road. These statistics are a testament to the Power Stroke Diesel. This new Power Stroke Diesel is designed to enhance that reputation and add even greater driver appeal."

International will manufacture the new Power Stroke Diesel engine at its Indianapolis Engine Plant.
