ECONOMY
BlueTec emissions technology is the first
emissions advancement to offer you cost benefits.
From the beginning, Detroit designed the DD13, DD15, DD15
TC and DD16 engines from the ground up to work seamlessly
with BlueTec. This allows Detroit to offer you optimized
performance under the hood and in your wallet in the form of fuel
savings and improved cost of ownership.
SIMPLICITY
Its not just SCR, its BlueTec emissions
technology and it makes a difference.
Detroit engines use a completely integrated emissions system
that combines exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel particulate
filter (DPF), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) to efficiently meet current emissions standards.
Exhaust gases are treated downstream of the engine instead of

BlueTec Air/Exhaust Flow Exhaust leaves the engine then flows through the diesel
oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) and then it is mixed with DEF
before it passes through the SCR catalyst. Finally, it exits the tailpipe as nitrogen and water.
simple, efficient
packaging solutions
The components required for BlueTec emissions technology
include DEF tank, DEF doser, SCR catalyst, aftertreatment
control module (ACM) and DEF gauge. Detroit and Daimler
engineers have developed several ways to package these
components on the truck. Your dealer sales consultant will work
with you to determine the optimal packaging solution to fit your
needs. The optimal packaging solution depends on the specific
truck application, but BlueTec offers a packaging advantage
with its proprietary 1-Box emissions package.
The 1-Box emissions package combines the DOC, DPF and
SCR catalyst in one simple component. This configuration
enables lower exhaust back pressure, which contributes to
the fuel economy benefit provided by BlueTec technology.
This proprietary system also enables these components to be
positioned on the vehicle to provide optimal packaging solutions
for a wide range of truck configurations.
Operating a BlueTec-equipped
truck is simple
There is one basic thing to keep in mind when operating a BlueTecequipped truck: Watch the DEF gauge to see when its time for a refill.
DEF Infrastructure
The gauge indicates the level of DEF in the tank and has a series of alerts
when the tank is running low. A driver who ignores a DEF low level warnings
will see de-rates and restrictions on the vehicle, but will never be stranded.
Just watch the gauge. Its that simple!

FAQ
Why is BlueTec emissions technology the best EPA 2010
emissions solution?
BlueTec emissions technology is the right solution for your
business because it is the only technology that meets the
standards at the tailpipe with better fuel economy. BlueTec
cleans exhaust downstream from the engine, unlike in-cylinder
EGR. This enables BlueTec-equipped engines to perform at
optimal combustion ranges providing peak power and reducing
heat rejection on many of the internal engine components, for
greater durability and reliability. You will enjoy lower lifecycle
costs with BlueTec-equipped trucks. BlueTec is based on an
experienced and proven technology. In fact, there are hundreds
of thousands of BlueTec-equipped trucks operating worldwide
today. BlueTec is simple, economical and experienced.
No. The new Detroit engines were designed from the ground
up to work seamlessly with BlueTec, meaning that virtually no
changes were required to the base engine.
Is DEF hazardous?
Only DEF should be put in your DEF tank. DEF will tarnish
aluminum over time. If spills occur, rinse the area with water.
