Low exhaust emission system for gas trucks
March 1st 2007 Reducing exhaust emissions by up to 98% and providing maximum fuel economy, Nissan is introducing its Tri-Cat System across its entire range of LP gas trucks. Soot-free exhaust has made LP gas an increasingly popular choice for operations involving inside work near personnel, or where loads such as paper or textiles can be easily marked. Nissan points out that emissions from a gas-powered engine can be just as unpleasant – and harmful – as those from unclean diesel. The Nissan system, fitted as standard, is a combination of threeway catalytic converter and computerised engine management technology, and will be introduced in an enhanced Tri-Cat Ultra version. The company believes it to be the only lift truck installation of its type with a catalyst which addresses all three toxic substances produced when LP gas is burnt. It reduces carbon monoxide by 91%, hydrocarbons by 96% and oxides of nitrogen by 98%. Optimum fuel economy is derived through constant engine management. Tests in a standard work cycle have shown that the Tri- Cat system can typically save 5000L of LPG over a five-year period. More articles from Nissan Motor (GB) Limited: |
