Új DEF irányelvek az EPA-tól, amelyek előnyösek a teherautó-üzemeltetők számára és csökkentik az állásidőt

Az Egyesült Államok Környezetvédelmi Ügynökségének (EPA) a dízel kipufogógáz-folyadék- (DEF) rendszerekkel kapcsolatos nemrégiben kiadott útmutatása jelentős lépés mind a motorgyártók, mind a tehergépjármű-üzemeltetők számára. Ez a frissítés várhatóan minimalizálja a felesleges motorleállásokat és teljesítménycsökkenéseket, végső soron simább működést biztosítva a tehergépjármű-iparban. Az EPA új DEF-útmutatójának áttekintése Augusztus 12-én az EPA igazgatója ismertette az új útmutatót, amelynek célja a teljesítménycsökkenés – a motor kimenetének automatikus csökkentése, amely tombolhat a sofőr menetrendje szerint – hatásának enyhítése. Ez az intézkedés enyhülést nyújt azáltal, hogy nagyobb mozgásteret biztosít az üzemeltetőknek a DEF-ellátmányok biztosítására és a tehergépjárművek üzemanyaggal való feltöltésére.
