Off-road diesel vehicle emission regulations- Trends and Challenges

 

The objective of this paper is to give an insight about the trends and challenges of off-road vehicle emission control technology. Every technology we see today is the product of enormous research done by engine suppliers and their partners. Though all technologies promise the compliance to emission rules and regulations, the vehicle manufacturer needs to choose right technology considering overall implications on the vehicle, its usage over life time and the cost associated with it.

This paper suggests some of the key parameters to be considered while arriving at right emission control strategy. The paper also describes a part of the work being done at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in emission control area.
