Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) announced that it has secured more than 10,000 orders for new vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions technology. SCR is the emissions reduction system selected by DTNA to meet 2010 emissions standards.

SCR-equipped trucks reduce emissions to near-zero levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter as measured at the tailpipe while improving fuel economy up to 5% compared with EPA 2007 engines. Every new Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado, and line of M2 business-class medium-duty vehicles are now available with Detroit Diesel BlueTec or Cummins SCR emissions equipment.

BlueTec SCR is an evolution of SCR technology developed and tested by Daimler, and is Daimler’s solution for meeting 2010 EPA emissions standards on all Detroit Diesel engines.
