JCB has a ‘one can’ solution for Tier 4 Final.
255 JCB Power Systems revealed its complete US EPA Tier 4 Final emissions solution at Conexpo for the Ecomax engine.

Using highly efficient combustion technology, the 4.4litre and 4.8litre Ecomax engines meet the required standards without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

JCB’s Ecomax engines have also been recalibrated for Tier 4 Final, resulting in a further 5% fuel saving compared to previous models.

A compact selective catalytic reduction (SCR) solution with a urea-based additive will be used on engines above 55kW. The SCR catalyst is incorporated into a single exhaust silencer, in most cases replacing the existing exhaust box, to provide a ‘one can’ solution.

It is a solution that remains compact, posing no further problems to install in a wide variety of machines without costly modifications to bodywork.

The range also includes four-cylinder Ecomax engines for industrial power units and G-Drive installations for generators and portable power equipment.

JCB said these engines have been specifically designed for the US market to meet EPA requirements, and lower Tier variants are available for less regulated markets.

    Engines and drivelines technologies have move forward, as could be seen at Conexpo 2014 - Geoff Ascroft reports Solutions for Tier 4 Final emissions regulations dominated Conexpo 2014, with many firms showing off their options of DOC, DPF and SCR after-treatments. Deutz, while staying with an SCR-only solution, took a more unusual approach on its high horsepower V6 12litre and V8 16litre engines. Both get a dual SCR after treatment system to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards. Using a dual SCR system,

    JCB is now fitting its new Tier 4 JCB Ecomax diesel engine to its latest rough terrain forklift range. The engine delivers the same 55kW output as the previous Dieselmax motor, but meets the Tier 4 emissions regulations without the need for a diesel particulate filter or an SCR exhaust after-treatment system. This reduces running costs for customers and the Ecomax engine is being fitted to all four models in JCB’s RTFL range: the 926, 930, 940 and 950.
