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.
