Clean Diesel Technology
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) pumps burned gases through a high-efficiency cooler to re-enter the air system via the EGR valve. These cooled gases help lower combustion temperature, which in turn helps limit the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Ford LCF's PowerStroke® V6 runs exclusively on Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), with just 15 parts-per-million of sulfur. It's the new standard for North American diesel fuel. That's a 97-percent reduction in sulfur from the last-generation fuel.
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)/Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The DOC reduces hydrocarbons in the exhaust. The DOC/DPF is self-diagnostic, automatically performing
a regeneration/clean cycle when required.
