New Holland’s solution to meet this challenge relies on two technologies: Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The technology solution is determined for each model in the New Holland product line on the basis of the machine’s engineering characteristics, application requirements and lowest operating costs. This approach will provide New Holland customers with the equipment performance and cost-efficiency they need, ensuring a seamless transition to the new standards.

In developing its solution, New Holland benefited from the extensive experience of Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT), which pioneered low emission systems and has effectively applied CEGR and SCR technologies in on- and off-highway applications. The technologies have been continually developed and refined, resulting in low operating costs and high productivity with low emissions at a competitive price.

New Holland’s approach enables it to apply to each model in its product line the technology that achieves the best result for the customers. For example, CEGR relies on an exhaust filter system designed for cleaning and regeneration, so it provides performance with exceptional durability and low maintenance costs. SCR, on the other hand, is an after-treatment system that allows the engine to generate maximum power, and the combustion process is optimised, so that it is extremely fuel efficient.

The introduction of SCR technology as early in the process as 2011 gives New Holland a competitive advantage. By bringing forward its research on this technology, it enables New Holland to focus R&D investments on developing the next generation of construction equipment that will set new standards in cost-efficiency, productivity and performance.
