Technology Exhibition
Diesel Particulate Filter<DPF> ISUZU pioneered the development of the DPF system in Japan. This ceramic filter catches particulates in black smoke and incinerates them with a contact heater. Continuously Regenerating Diesel Particulate Trap <Reference exhibition> This system changes exhaust-gas nitrogen oxide(NO) into NO2 using an oxidizing catalyst, and constantly burns off black-smoke particulates trapped in the filter. NOx Catalyst<Reference exhibition> A device that changes NOx into harmless substances such as N2 and H2O. ISUZU introduces a NOx catalyst that uses urea as a reducing agent. One-Way Cooled EGR System By cooling recirculated exhaust gases to lower temperatures than regular Exhaust Gas Recirculation devices, this system reduces NOx emissions. In addition, check valves prevent air from flowing backward through the EGR system, By limiting flow to one direction. the system raises the efficiency of EGR technology.	Truck Operation Support System for Next-Generation <Reference exhibition> This system allows the constant exchange of information among drivers, customers and shipper's office and ISUZU via the ISUZU control center. It enhances overall logistic efficiency by using detailed vehicle information to support safety and economical operation by dynamically improving operational control and maintenance scheduling as well as responses to accidents, breakdowns and the condition of drivers. Safety Concept Vehicle ASV-2 <Reference exhibition> An advanced safety vehicle that supports drivers and prevents accidents with state-of-the-art technologies, such as the drive operation monitoring system, advanced front-lighting system, left turns information system. adaptive cruise control system, forward collision avoidance support system, drive stability control system and front under-run protection device.
