Diesel Engine Greenhouse Gas Standards Separate engine standards Utilize existing regulatory provisions – certify the engine like today for NOx and PM but now add CO2 Different standards for: – Heavy-duty and Medium-duty; and – Tractor and Vocational engines
Standards range from 3% improvement in 2014 to 9% total in 2017 over a 2010 industry baseline 0.10 g/bhp-hr standards for CH4 and N2O emissions 4

High Efficiency Clean Combustion • Co-sponsored program with DoE (2007-2010) • Successfully extended the low temperature
Engine Combustion Strategy
combustion operation (early PCCI) • Combustion system optimization for lifted flame diffusion controlled combustion • Component technologies ‒ Common rail fuel injection systems ‒ Variable geometry turbomachinery ‒ Cooled EGR system
Open Loop • Improved fuel consumption • 30% - 40% reduction in size • Reduced pressure losses • Reduced variation • Robust in-use performance • Excellent NH3 and N2O control
