In recent years developments in engine technology have played a key role with regard to improved machine performance. Diesel engine makers have had to meet a challenging schedule in terms of delivering new low emission engine technology and meet tough regulatory requirements for the US and Europe. Along with the cleaner emissions have come improved fuel economy and increased power density, allowing customers to meet the power needs of their machines with smaller and more economical engines. At the same time

Diesel and AdBlue together in the same tank makes for a more efficient and effective transport and delivery-to-machine process to worksites, according to Italian fuel tank manufacturer Emiliana Serbatoi. The company has launched two versions of such tanks within its Carrytankline. Versions 400+50 and 330 were previewed to visitors attending the bauma exhibition in Munich in April.
