In what was the biggest ever Integer event
in the US, the Diesel Emissions Conference
and DEF Forum 2011 saw over 200 senior
stakeholders packed into one room to
engage in focused discussions on the
developments in the DEF, on-highway and
off-highway markets.
DEF Forum (Oct. 17)
The Forum opened with a thought-provoking
introduction from Integer’s Director of Emissions,
Tim Cheyne, who started by congratulating DEF
stakeholders for the growing success of the US DEF
market. However, he also highlighted the importance
of improving infrastructure to meet increasing
demand for DEF, as more and more fleet operators
choose SCR to achieve lower NOx emissions and
improved fuel economy.
DEF testing and certification
Jeffrey Harmening from the American Petroleum
Institute (API) followed with a presentation on what
the API has done to certify DEF in the US, since
handing out its first licence in March 2009. Jeffrey
highlighted some of the certification challenges
experienced in the ISO 22241 monitoring program,
and provided a summary of audit results in 2010.
The API now certifies 28 DEF brands, but more are
expected due to the increase in popularity towards
SCR.

Market trends and user experience
Chris Goodfellow of Integer Research
led the next session by providing
useful statistics on the amount of
SCR equipped trucks on US roads,
and the market share of each of
the big on-highway manufacturers.
Following this, Chris gave detailed
information on the consumption
of DEF by state and, from findings
contained in the AdBlue and DEF
Monitor, provided information on the
steep increase of DEF retail locations,
including the first sites in Canada.
Chris concluded with pricing trends
across the US, for totes, jugs and
pumps.
James Thomas, Fuel Optimization
Manager at PepsiCo followed to
give the hugely-valued perspective
from the end user on DEF supply
and infrastructure in practice.
James put in perspective the needs
of a big fleet when it comes to
DEF consumption, and shed some
light on the fuel efficiency gains
experienced by PepsiCo, which has
led to savings as high as 20%. James
also touched on other applications
being used by PepsiCo, including
hybrid technologies and concluded
with a comment which was echoed
throughout the day – the priorities
have moved from DEF pricing to
setting up the right partnerships and
getting the right service to meet their
needs.
To continue discussions on user
experience, Tim welcomed up a set
of panellists to the stage to consider
how DEF distributors can satisfy
the needs of on-highway, offhighway
and vocational fleets. The
discussions started with comments
from Michael DelliCompagni of
Brenntag, who highlighted the
shift in distribution needs over
the years and the importance of
building strong partnerships. Doug
Haugh from Mansfield Oil Company
followed by presenting discussions
with fleets on capital investments
being made in SCR trucks, and a
movement from “are we going to do
this?”to “how are we going to do
this?”. James Thomas reiterated that,
certainly in their case, the priorities
have changed from price (which has
now been driven down by intense
competition in the DEF market) to
service. He highlighted that the use
of SCR trucks at PepsiCo was inspired
by what had already been done
in Europe, and he was particularly
attracted by the potential fuel
efficiency gains associated with SCR
technology. Brian Spencer of CNH
global then gave an interesting view
from the off-highway perspective.
He mentioned that the speed of
understanding regarding SCR in the
agricultural industry was slow, but
adoption of the technology was quick
once they understood the impact
that it will have on their operations.
Brian mentioned that farmers are
used to working with chemicals, and
therefore DEF will not have a huge
impact on their business. Brian went
on to mention that farmers are more
concerned with the supply of DEF,
and deciding how best to handle the
chemical in 2012. Early adopters are
reporting better fuel economy, and
early signs are positive. Doug then
stressed the need for innovation for
the off-highway market, as supply
to the market will not be a “one size
fits all service”. The panel concluded
with the issue of quality, which
didn’t seem to be of huge concern.
However, Michael stressed the
dangers in the difference between
the users’ perception of quality and
actual quality.

New opportunities in the DEF market
Following his input in the panel, Doug Haugh of
Mansfield Oil Company gave some more views on
DEF supply strategy to the off-highway sector. Doug
started with a call for all DEF stakeholders to start to
plan for the market now, while OEMs are still preparing
their storage and dispensing strategies. Again, Doug
touched on the issue of quality, and explained how
OEMs are educating customers on the best ways to get
DEF from the pump to the tank.
Chuck Mattina from The Quixote Group followed
with a set of interesting statistics on the distribution,
packaging and pricing trends for the vocational fleet
market. Chuck discussed how vocational fleets are
storing and dispensing DEF fuel, and gave some
informative statistics on vehicle types still using EGR
as the technology method for achieving emissions
compliance.
This was followed by another panel discussion on the
distribution strategies for segmented markets such as
off-highway and marine. The panel kicked off with a
discussion on the off-highway market. Lyle Westerfield
from KostUSA said that there is need for a better
understanding of how to handle the product and
the complexity of it all, as non-road end users had to
quickly get to grips with using DEF. Dr. Frank Cook
commented that the DEF market is ready, and now
the market just needs education. Chad Dombroski of
Yara North America Inc. provided some information
on Yara’s tailored solutions for marine applications,
and some of the unique challenges which separate it
from other markets. The panel concluded that building
strong relationships with end users and intermediaries
will be the key to success in these markets.

DEF delivery, storage and dispensing technologies
Next, Tod Dressler from FedEx Ground gave another interesting and important perspective from the end user. Tod
went into some detail surrounding the events leading to FedEx’s strategy of implementing underground bulk storage
of DEF over IBCs, offering optimum cost effectiveness in the long term. He also discussed the solutions being used,
including dual fuel and DEF installations.
This was followed by a frank discussion on bulk filling equipment technology, and the experiences of equipment
suppliers. First, the panel discussed the latest innovations that they had witnessed or invented for the market. Multicompartment
solutions, positions of the filling tank and weather-adept solutions were discussed by the panellists,
who also highlighted the benefits that these solutions had for their clients. The panel went on to discuss their surprise
at the speed of adoption of underground bulk solutions. Rick Whately from Xerxes emphasized how, in a matter of a
few years, the number of systems have gone from none to hundreds – much faster than expected. Stephen Cox from
Separation by Design highlighted the sheer diversity of applications needed for the market. They also discussed the
unpredictability of the market, and the difficultly in forecasting such a complex and ever-evolving market. The panel
also discussed developments of new, dynamic technologies which are necessary to improve client experience and
serve the more complicated off-highway market. The panel concluded that although this is a short term market which
will inevitably end with few players focused on servicing rather than developing new installations, there are many
profitable opportunities which can be taken advantage of now due to the size of the potential market.

Diesel Emissions Conference (Oct 18)
This year’s conference shifted in focus from
NOx to CO2 – the next challenge on the route
to near zero emissions in the US.
GHG and fuel economy
Following a welcome from Integer’s
Tim Cheyne, Rakesh Aneja of Daimler
Trucks kicked off the conference
with his views on how technology
will develop to lower greenhouse
gas emissions by 2014. In an
insightful presentation, Rakesh gave
some background on GHG and
fuel economy standards and how
these tie in with other emissions
legislation for on-highway vehicles.
Following data on NOx reduction
achievements and fuel consumption
gains, Rakesh discussed Daimler’s
SuperTruck program – a set of
internal emissions reduction targets
beyond the 2013-14 GHG legislation.
This included a 50% improvement in
thermal efficiency, and the inclusion
of predictive technologies that will
allow the truck to adjust its power
output according to its surrounding
environment.
Next, Tony Greszler of Volvo
Group, provided another view on
achieving GHG reductions and fuel
efficiency. He opened with some
background information on NOx level
achievements to date, stating that
the industry has “won the war” on
NOx, and fuel efficiency is now the
“new front for diesel engineers”.
Tony stated that they have seen
5% fuel efficiency gains through
SCR technology, and provided an
interesting video of his technology in
action. Tony went on to discuss some
of the technologies being developed
by Volvo, including intelligent
transmissions, aerodynamics and
testing methods. Similar to Daimler,
Volvo also has internal targets to
further improve fuel efficiency
and GHG reductions, including a
20% increase in engine efficiency
demonstrated on-highway by 2015.
Next, Tim welcomed a panel made up
of all the biggest on-highway OEMs
in the US – Daimler, Volvo, Kenworth
Trucks, Navistar and Cummins.
The conversation began with the
panellists discussing the opportunities
and challenges they face from CO2
and fuel efficiency targets. Judy
McTigue of Kenworth Trucks began
by saying that although the ultimate
goal of reducing CO2 emissions is
valid, there is still a lot of uncertainty
surrounding GHG and fuel economy
requirements. Rakesh Aneja agreed
that the regulators have made a
good first step, giving “customers
something that they actually want”
on fuel efficiency cost savings.
However, Rakesh suggested that to
achieve the best results, regulation
should be applied to the entire truck,
including the trailer and tyres. Ken
Federle of Cummins was first to
highlight the need to ensure that
the engine is cost effective for the
end user, and that the benefits are
properly communicated to customers.
Ken also highlighted the need to
think about the entire spectrum
when achieving fuel efficiency,
including education for the depots on
loading freight correctly. The panel
then touched on alternative fuels and
technologies, including natural gas,
biodiesel and hybrid, and the roles
that they can play in achieving fuel
efficiency targets.

Aftertreatment technology strategy for commercial advantage
Robert Bosch’s Engineering Manager, Juergen Zybel, was
next to give his views on the aftertreatment technologies
available to achieve fuel economy improvements.
In what was a comprehensive presentation on the
technologies being used in the market, Juergen
discussed those being developed by Robert Bosch,
including waste heat recovery and hybrid technologies.
His presentation however, was focused on his company’s
DEF injection units, which their tests show to reduce
NOx emissions without the use of DPF.
Ed VanDyne of VanDyne SuperTurbo Inc. gave a detailed
overview of the technologies which could be used to
achieve fuel efficiency gains, including aerodynamics,
hybrid technologies and additives. This led into an
explanation of his technology, and an entertaining video
on how it works.
Steve Majkowski from Dow Automotive followed with
a presentation on AERIFY filter technology, and the
advantages for filtration efficiency.

On-board diagnostics rules and technical approaches
Following a productive networking break, Judy McTigue from Kenworth Trucks
gave an outstanding overview of the OBD rules for heavy duty trucks in the US.
Judy began by going into some detail on what the rules will cover, and what
electrical and mechanical faults the system is expected to detect. Judy also stated
at this point that there should be no illusion that OBD compliance will be an easy
achievement, requiring developments in both hardware and software. Judy outlined
these one by one, showing visuals on the technologies and the customization
which needs to be made. This includes sensors for DPFs and DEF tanks, as well
as dashboard warning light changes. Judy went on to discuss the role of hybrid
technology in complying with OBD rules, mentioning that CARB and EPA have
yet to announce the requirements for hybrids. To conclude, Judy stated that OBD
compliance will not be a “cheap endeavour”, and will require significant investment
by OEMs without any monetary ROI. The customer experience will not be disturbed
greatly, but it is important that communications and training on the changes to
systems begins now.
Dr Stephen Charlton from Cummins discussed the harmonization of OBD
between US and EU. Building on the previous presentation by Judy McTigue,
Stephen discussed the key technologies which need to be developed for OBD
requirements, including DEF, electronic controls, combustion technologies and
turbos. He went on to mention the OBD fitted trucks which are on the road today,
will need to be adapted to comply with the new rules. Then, Stephen outlined the
differences between US and Europe in areas such as emissions types, threshold
levels and demonstration cycles. Stephen shared some interesting statistics on
cost comparisons of meeting OBD requirements for EPA 2010 and Euro V, and
projections for EPA 2013 and VI, which show large differences in cost. In conclusion
Stephen mentioned that harmonization between Europe and the US could lead to
significant cost savings for the OEM, and ultimately, the end user.
This was followed by presentations from Measurement Specialities and Wema, who
discussed their sensing technologies for AdBlue.

Emerging emissions reduction opportunities for OEMs and equipment suppliers
In the last session of the day and
in keeping with the theme of
harmonization, Manfred Schuckert
from Daimler began by discussing
the benefits for creating worldwide
GHG emission reduction strategies
for heavy duty vehicles. Manfred
stated that he expects to see the
implementation of CO2 emissions
targets by 2018/2019 in the US,
alongside the 2020 targets of
Japan and China. After a detailed
explanation on the position of Japan,
Europe and China, like Dr Stephen
Charlton, Manfred stressed the cost
advantages of globally harmonized
rules to leverage the opportunities
available. Manfred also went into
detail on what this should cover,
including cycle definitions (shape and
load of trucks), testing procedures
(on aerodynamics, tyres etc.), and use
of the same simulation tools.
The Day ended with a panel
discussion which featured leading
policy organisations from the heavy
duty industry. Each panellist took it
in turn to give their view on how the
new GHG rules will affect OEMs and
the opportunities available to the
industry as a result. Dave Piech from
Navistar began by voicing his concern
about the legislation, and the impact
that this will have on everyone
within the market. He called on the
industry to engage with government
to ensure that the impact on the
end user is not too extreme. Bill Van
Amburg started with an introduction
of his company CalSTART, the work
that has already been done within
the industry, and then went on to
discuss harmonisation. His comments
mimicked those of Connie Burek
of IBM Global Services, who also
provided some insight from their
report Truck 2020. Connie called for
OEMs and other government bodies
to consider all of the factors of
efficiency, giving an example showing
that, from findings taken from their
research, 30% of traffic congestion
is due to drivers looking for parking
spaces, and thus consuming diesel
fuel unnecessarily. Following an
introduction of her association, Fanta
Kamakate from ICCT provided some
insight on developments taking
place around the world concerning
diesel emissions legislation. This
included confirmation that Canada
and Mexico will harmonize their
diesel emissions legislation with
the US. Fanta highlighted the
importance of communicating these
changes early, a feeling echoed
by Manfred Schuckert. The panel
went on to discuss the real impact
on OEMs and customers, and
what the industry could look like
in the next 10 years. The group all
agreed that enforcement will play a
huge part in making sure the rules
are implemented correctly, and
highlighted the real danger of the
rules having further consequences
in the market, such as a slowdown
in vehicle registrations. All panellists
agreed that whatever is decided
should be communicated effectively
to all industry stakeholders to ensure
that the process is as efficient as the
engines being created.

Diesel Emissions Conference (Oct 19)
Chamila Tissera from the Deutz Corporation kick started
a day focused on the off-highway market. With a clear
synergy to the previous day’s on-highway sessions, the
conference discussed issues around legislation (Tier 4
Interim and Final), GHG reduction and fuel economy.
Chamila gave an overview of the off-highway market,
and outlined the stark differences between off and onhighway
certification. However, he said that the core
technologies being used by the on-highway market
are the same. With a 4 year gap between legalisation
levels for the on- and off-highway markets, onhighway
acted as the perfect “guinea pig” for these
technologies. It was said earlier in the day that a ‘one
size fits all’ approach does not work in the off-highway
sector. Deutz are using a combination of SCR and EGR
equipped trucks to achieve Tier 4 standards. However,
their focus is on SCR + DPF for the heavier categories.
Chamila then led into his key topic of discussion -
certification - discussing the strawmen document, which
was originally meant to be a guideline on ensuring the
truck is achieving the emissions reduction via DEF, but
eventually became law. Going step-by-step through
the certification process, Chamila covered subjects such
as the driver warning display lights, the requirements
of a DEF sensor and freeze protection. He then went
on to highlight the difficulties of establishing a DEF
infrastructure for the off-highway market, especially
in extreme locations. Chamila ended his presentation
with some interesting data from CARB, showing
the emissions results of the 8 biggest off-highway
manufacturers.
Joseph Featherstone from John Deere Power Systems
next provided a case study on how they achieved Tier 4
interim. Following an overview of the company, which
offers vehicles and engines for a range of applications
up to 10,000ft above sea level, he gave an insightful
overview of John Deere’s strategy for achieving Tier 4
interim. Joseph shared some feedback received from
customers including the things they demanded from
the new engines, which broke down as reliable, cost
effective, powerful vehicles with a single fluid solution.
Joseph went through John Deere’s building block
approach, resulting in a cooled EGR with DPF solution,
and went on to say that their customers were seeing
fuel efficiency gains. He discussed the steps that John
Deere took to get there, including educating the entire
supply chain from the dealers to the customer. Feedback
from their customers has shown that their solution has
achieved its goals, it incurred no major disturbances
to the customers’ normal operations, the new power
and performance was received well, and there was
satisfaction from customers that they did not have to
use any additional fluids. When asked by the audience
about John Deere’s view on using SCR, Joseph was
unable to comment on whether this technology will be
used to achieve Tier 4 Final.

Next, Par Gabrielson from Haldor Topsoe looked at cost
effective compliance at Stage IV/Tier 4 final and beyond.
Working with TNO, Haldor Topsoe gave figures on costs
for SCR only, SCR + EGR and EGR only alternatives
– costs which ultimately have to be absorbed by
the customer. Par also went into some detail on the
different applications being used around the world.
John Rogers of AGCO followed to give a comprehensive
overview of the technologies they will be using to meet
future emissions standards. AGCO chose internal EGR
for Tier 3 / Stage 3a, but was the first off-highway
manufacturer to introduce SCR technology on their
vehicles from 2008. John went on to say that AGCO
saw a swing in orders from 80% EGR and 20% SCR
equipped applications, to 80% SCR and 20% EGR in
a matter of years. He did however say that they are
constantly monitoring the price of DEF, to ensure that
it is still a cost effective solution for their customers. He
also said that when they set off down the SCR route
in 2008, DEF infrastructure was their largest concern,
but customers are now comfortable with using it. John
also highlighted some of the other market conditions
considered when deciding on the best solutions for their
customers, including the price of diesel and biodiesel,
and the variety of tasks that each application is used for
with different needs in power and performance. John
could not comment on the route that AGCO would take
to Tier 4 Final, but said like every manufacturer, they will
wait until the last minute to announce their solution to
ensure that they make full use of the latest technologies
in the market.
Marc Hehle from MTU moved the discussion on to the
rail segment of the NRMM market and the technologies
being considered to achieve lower emissions. Marc
spoke about the two common routes being used in
the rail sector to achieve the next stage of legislation
in 2015; EGR and DPF and SCR and DPF, and provided
a case study of a recent test with an SCR solution.
The field trials took place between 2008 and 2010 –
totalling 450000 hours of operation. He spoke about
some of the challenges they faced with getting the
retrofit technology to work with existing machinery,
which was a difficult task because of the limited space
surrounding locomotive engines. Other challenges
highlighted include certification (they could not make
changes to the engine as it was certified) and DEF
infrastructure at the beginning of the trials. Marc
concluded his presentation with the point that there
are many solutions still be considered, and stressed
that different rail applications will require different
aftertreatment systems.
Conference Chairman and Integer’s Director of
Emissions, Tim Cheyne was next to present findings
from the SCR & NRMM study. The presentation included
statistics contained in the study, including forecasts on
equipment volumes, infrastructure and consumption of
DEF by the non-road market.
Further information on the SCR & NRMM study can be

Ravi Godbole from AGCO closed the conference
with views on current fleet efficiency strategies. In
a presentation focused on non road vehicle fleets/
owners getting more for less, Ravi went through a
variety of innovations which are under development
at AGCO to improve fuel economy and minimize GHG
emissions. These included weight optimization, duel fuel
approaches and hybridization. There was a focus on
the right fuel in this presentation – what will give the
optimum power for the least cost. Ravi discussed Brazil’s
method of using biodiesel and diesel interchangeably
depending on the current price of each fuel, and also
considered what else could be mixed with diesel to
create efficient fuels. He went on to discuss AGCO’s
future solutions, which include diesel electric and
hydrogen fuel cells, and also revealed some concepts
currently being tested. This included the launch of the
e-rogator – an electic hybrid application which is said
to achieve 25% in fuel savings and GHG reduction
compared to standard diesel. He closed by saying that
going forward 10 to 15 years, fuel cell and electric
drive vehicles will be the future of the non-road market,
although he felt we have not perfected the technology
yet.
