the only way to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards

at the tailpipe is by running an engine with selective

catalytic reduction (sCr) technology. You can feel

good about your impact on the environment and

your bottom line using sCr.

Detroit has a reliable, proven solution. it’s called

bluetec® emissions technology. for the first time,

not only can you meet emissions standards, but

you can do so more simply and economically.

bluetec is the experienced solution, already used in

hundreds of thousands of Daimler trucks worldwide.

bluetec allows you to Demand it All.

65 to 1 the pollutants emitted by 65 ePa 2010 trucks is equivalent to the pollutants emitted by just one truck in 1988.

ECONOMYbluEtEC® EMissiONs tEChNOlOgY is thE first EMissiONs ADvANCEMENt tO OffEr YOu COst bENEfits. from the beginning, Detroit designed the DD13®, DD15®, DD15®

tC and DD16® engines from the ground up to work seamlessly with bluetec. this allows Detroit to offer you optimized performance under the hood and in your wallet in the form of fuel

savings and improved cost of ownership.

bluEtEC CAN ExtEND thE lifE Of AN ENgiNE. there’s no doubt you’re wondering how bluetec emissions technology will affect the life of your engine. bluetec is designed to decrease the overall cost of ownership of your engine and your truck. it actually helps Detroit engines achieve more efficient combustion by using fewer exhaust gas recirculations (Egr). this efficiency minimizes heat rejection reducing the stress put on many of the cooling system and internal engine components,

extending their useful life and improving reliability.

bluetec emissions technology also was designed to allow the engine to perform at its peak. by treating exhaust gases outside the engine and using fewer Egrs, Detroit can provide up to 5% better fuel economy* compared to our impressive EPA 2007 engines. One of the major factors contributing to this improvement is that bluetec emissions technology allows the engine’s diesel particulate filter (DPf) to extend its regeneration intervals. this means using less fuel to burn off the soot the filter collects, saving you money.

BlueTec Air/Exhaust Flow – Exhaust leaves the engine then flows through the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) and then it is mixed with DEF before it passes through the SCR catalyst. Finally, it exits the tailpipe as nitrogen and water.

Detroit engines use a completely integrated emissions system that combines exhaust gas recirculation (Egr), diesel particulate filter (DPf), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction (sCr) to efficiently meet current emissions standards. Exhaust gases are treated downstream of the engine instead of

requiring complex changes to the engine. it does this by injecting a small amount of diesel exhaust fluid (DEf) into the exhaust stream which reacts with the NOx in the sCr catalyst, forming nitrogen and water. the nitrogen and water, safe elements in the air we breathe, are released into the environment.

the components required for bluetec emissions technology include DEf tank, DEf doser, sCr catalyst, aftertreatment control module (ACM) and DEf gauge. Detroit and Daimler engineers have developed several ways to package these components on the truck. Your dealer sales consultant will work with you to determine the optimal packaging solution to fit your needs. the optimal packaging solution depends on the specific truck application, but bluetec offers a packaging advantage with its proprietary 1-box™ emissions package.

the 1-box emissions package combines the DOC, DPf and sCr catalyst in one simple component. this configuration enables lower exhaust back pressure, which contributes to the fuel economy benefit provided by bluetec technology. this proprietary system also enables these components to be positioned on the vehicle to provide optimal packaging solutions for a wide range of truck configurations.

DEf is a simple, non-toxic and inexpensive pre-mixed fluid composed of two-thirds pure water and one-third automotive-grade urea. As with other

standardized fluids, the American Petroleum institute controls DEf quality through a rigorous testing system.

With one 23 gallon tank of DEF, a BlueTec-equipped truck could travel from California to Maine and back without refilling the DEF tank. During this trip the truck (with 250 gallon fuel capacity) would need at least four fuel fill-ups.

there is one basic thing to keep in mind when operating a bluetec-equipped truck: watch the DEf gauge to see when it’s time for a refill.

The gauge indicates the level of DEF in the tank and has a series of alerts when the tank is running low. A driver who ignores a DEF low level warnings will see de-rates and restrictions on the vehicle, but will never be stranded. Just watch the gauge. it’s that simple!

FAQwhy is Bluetec emissions technology the best ePa 2010 emissions solution? bluetec emissions technology is the right solution for your business because it is the only technology that meets the standards at the tailpipe with better fuel economy. bluetec cleans exhaust downstream from the engine, unlike in-cylinder Egr. this enables bluetec-equipped engines to perform at optimal combustion ranges providing peak power and reducing heat rejection on many of the internal engine components, for greater durability and reliability. You will enjoy lower lifecycle costs with bluetec-equipped trucks. bluetec is based on an experienced and proven technology. in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of bluetec-equipped trucks operating worldwide today. bluetec is simple, economical and experienced.

does Bluetec require any major changes to the engine itself? No. the new Detroit engines were designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with bluetec, meaning that virtually no changes were required to the base engine.

what will drivers or fleet operators have to do differently? fill the DEf tank when needed. it’s that simple.

is deF hazardous?DEf is a simple, non-toxic and inexpensive pre-mixed fluid composed of two-thirds pure water and one-third automotive-grade urea.

How much deF will i need?One gallon of DEf is used about every 300 miles. the tanks range in size from six to 23 gallons, depending on the truck’s application which means you can go up to 7,000 miles between fill-ups.*

How do i know when i’m low on deF?the DEf gauge on your instrument cluster has indicators to show fill level and low level warning lights. it’s that simple.

How long does deF last?DEf shelf life won’t be an issue. At 86°f, DEf has a shelf life of one year (seven months at 95°f).

is it true my truck will stop if i run out of deF?No. under no circumstances will the engine shut down or be prevented from restarting as a result of running out of DEf. if your DEf tank runs dry, a de-rate inducement will be activated.

is deF difficult to find?the distribution infrastructure for DEf is in place and available in ample supply at cost-effective prices. it is available in various sizes at many locations, including truck stops, truck dealerships and engine distributors.

what if the deF tank is filled with the wrong fluid?the DEf tank fill opening is designed to accommodate only a DEf fill nozzle to ensure only DEf is put in the DEf tank. if the wrong fluid is put in the DEf tank, contact your local Detroit authorized service outlet.

will deF freeze in cold weather?DEf begins freezing at 12°f. if DEf freezes, the engine will start and run properly (with no de-rate or malfunction lights). An immersion heater in the DEf tank thaws the fluid for use and at no point will this affect the operation of the engine. it’s that simple.

do i have to be careful when filling my tank with deF?Only DEf should be put in your DEf tank. DEf will tarnish aluminum over time. if spills occur, rinse the area with water.

what kind of packaging options are there for Bluetec?Detroit and Daimler engineers have developed several ways to package these new components on the truck. Your dealer sales consultant will work with you to determine the optimal packaging system to fit your needs. bluetec offers a packaging advantage with its proprietary 1-box configuration. the bluetec 1-box configuration combines the DOC, DPf and sCr catalyst in one simple, efficient component.
