New Short-term Emissions Regulations-compliant Super Great truck debuts First heavy duty truck on Japanese market to meet regulations
and earn Ultra-low PM Emissions certification August 26, 2003
|
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation announces the launch of a new Super Great series model, the first heavy duty truck to both meet Japan's New Short-term Emissions Regulations and to earn Ultra-low Diesel Particulate Matter Emissions certification1. The new Super Great will go on sale on 26 August at Mitsubishi Fuso dealerships throughout Japan. |

I.Main product features A.Compliance with regulations 1. New short-term emissions regulations (2004 Emissions Regulations) The marriage of Mitsubishi Fuso's new Environment Engine with a new continuous-regenerative DPF2 enables the Fuso Super Great to comply at an early date with the New Short-term Emissions Regulations (for vehicles of GVW 12-tons and over) due to come into force in the fall of 2004.
Ultra-low Diesel PM Emissions certification is a nationally regulated system applying to New Short-term Emissions-compliant vehicles that also achieve major reductions in PM. The Fuso Super Great is the first heavy duty truck in Japan to gain certification under this system. 3. Compliance with other regulations The new Super Great Ultra-low PM model also complies with the following:
B.Advanced environmental technology ![]()
1. New "environment engine" The new Mitsubishi Fuso "Environment Engine" adds a number of advanced features to its highly appraised MIQCS5 combustion and high-pressure common-rail injection systems to make it the cleanest performing diesel power unit in the heavy duty truck class. The new technologies include, a high-precision electronically controlled cooled EGR system that realizes a significant decrease in PM, a positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV) that recirculates blow-by gas6 to the intake manifold and an on-board diagnostics system (OBD). These innovations do nothing to detract from the legendary low-consumption, high output and low-noise qualities of Fuso engines (1) MIQCS (Mitsubishi Innovative Quiescent Combustion System)
(2) High-pressure common-rail fuel injection system
(3) Cooled EGR
(4) PCV7 blow-by gas recirculation
(5)On-board diagnostics
2. Continuous-regenerative DPF Designed for use with low-sulfur fuels, the new continuous-regenerative DPF8 comprises a powerful, high-capacity oxidizing catalyst and PM filter that efficiently break down and trap PM emissions. The DPF works in conjunction with Mitsubishi Fuso's new Environment Engine that significantly reduces in-cylinder PM. A considerable proportion of engine-out PM emissions is initially broken down and purified by the powerful oxidizing catalyst that forms the first stage of the PM after-treatment system. This reduces the load on, and limits the build up of PM in, the filter downstream of the catalyst. Preventing clogging of the filter under low exhaust gas temperature conditions, this eliminates the need for forced PM oxidation that adversely impacts fuel economy. The new DPF is now maintenance free after optimization of filter pore size prevents the accumulation of lubricating oil ash emitted from the engine thereby eliminating the need for periodic cleansing.
