capabilities in the North American
on-highway commercial vehicle
market,” said Amy Adams, Gen-

system. EcoFit products, available
to all commercial vehicle engine
manufacturers, will achieve a lower
overall cost of ownership and allow
customers to differentiate from the
competition’s through improved ve-

Solutions can continue to offer sys-

The EcoFit UDS delivers im-
proved oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
conversion efficiency, which offers
the opportunity to tune engines for
improved fuel economy or to reduce
the size of a typical SCR system.
The air-assisted system is also de-

deposits, increasing the durability
and reliability of the aftertreatment
system. Offered as both tank-mount
and chassis-mount, the system re-
