International S13 too good to be true?

The last "genius" engine idea International had that was supposed to be so much better than everyone else's engines was the Maxxforce...and we all know how successful that pile of horse excrement engine was.

 

Ya, but either European or Australian trucks use that approach. I forget witch….

 

That new engine is a Scania engine

 

Current model S13 still does use EGR. It uses it very little, with no cooler. 2027 model is planning to omit EGR all together. Yes, SCR is that good now. S13 uses 2 stage SCR with dual injectors for DEF. One is behind the turbo, second injector is in the normal location before a catalyst.

 

But aren't their emissions regulations less strict than our 'California biased' standards the EPA is moving towards?

 

No one with any seat time yet?

 

Former member on here I talk to has a couple of them and he seems to be quite happy with them.

 

Charley's garage on youtube mentioned the scr is getting so good (non brand specific) that egr may be a thing of the past, period.

 

It already is. Hate to say it but Europe is kicking the #### out of the US when it comes to heavy duty diesel engines.
