Navistar to bring ICT Plus technology to China
17 July 2012
www.chinabuses.org: Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) announced last week that it will introduce its next generation clean engine solution, In-Cylinder Technology Plus (ICT+), to meet 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. The company’s ICT+ technology, which combines Navistar’s proprietary in-cylinder engine expertise with urea-based after treatment, will also position the company to meet U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) rules in advance of 2014 and 2017 requirements.
The company announced on July 14 that it will also bring its ICT+ technology to China to meet Euro V and Euro VI emissions regulations. With the introduction of ICT+, Navistar’s goal is to provide the latest in emissions and engine advancements into its customer and partner base, including the recently approved diesel engine joint venture with Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co. Ltd. (JAC).
“Our relationship with JAC is a global relationship. Navistar’s broad portfolio of emissions technologies, including ICT+, provides our JAC engine venture with the means to meet a wide range of global standards,” said Rudi von Meister, Navistar China president. “Whether our applications need to conform to China’s domestic regulations or policies, customer requirements, and regional conditions (such as fuel quality) for various export markets, Navistar can leverage its engine management technology portfolio to offer our customers a global range of engine solutions. Our ICT+ solution enables our China JV to accommodate more stringent global market requirements in the future.”
The foundation of Navistar’s new ICT+ emissions solution is the company’s proprietary in-cylinder emissions technology it introduced in the North American market in 2010. During the last two years, Navistar has made significant advances in clean engine technology within the combustion chamber (in-cylinder) through combustion optimization by precisely controlling air and fuel mixing.
“Navistar’s ICT+ emissions solution offers a lower level starting point of emissions such as NOx created within the chamber and this is further reduced through the use of proven after treatment systems,” said Jim Yan, China vice president of research and product development, Navistar. “ICT+ gives us the potential to deliver the world’s cleanest and most fuel efficient diesel engine, which benefits our customers and the environment.”
