Natural Gas for Off-Road Applications - AVL Engine Technology Forum

摘要

The SDTC engine test results meet or exceed original goals, Engine out emissions are all within Tier 3 standards, while GHG emissions meet the 20% or better target. The SDTC demonstration will move toward locomotive testing. A High Pressure gas tender is in development. CAT/EMD and Westport are fully engaged in collaborative development of HPDI systems for locomotives and Mine Trucks. This activity is driven by the strong demand for cheaper, cleaner natural gas in off-road high-horsepower applications.
