Technology Exhibits
Next-generation ultra-clean diesel engine
This low-emission diese.l engine incorporates Isuzu's latest technological innovations. Use of a common rail fuel injection system contributes to finer injection control than ever before. Thanks to optimal control of the fuel spray pattern, it delivers uniform and extremely efficient combustion. In addition, precise control of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and the turbocharger-a new combustion concept with this engine-enables near-perfect fuel-air mixture distribution and combustion temperature. The result is a dramatic reduction in particulate matter and NOx. On top of these advances, we have slso included a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and a NOx catalyst for after treatment, to achieve even cleaner emissions. Development is continuing in line with isuzu's plan to supply passenger-car diesels to the European market. The engines will easily clear the next European diesel engine emission standards for the year 2005, putting these ultra-clean diesels in the same class as future gasoline engines.
