Why DEF is Important?
Cleaner Air with Every Drop
Emissions
DEF reduces Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions. Nitrogen oxide is a harmful gas that can damage the human respiratory system, reducing lung function, increasing allergen exposure, and the risk of respiratory illnesses. DEF protects vegetation, reduces acid rain, and supports cleaner air, contributing to the preservation of ecosystems and compliance with stringent emission standards.
Meets Emission Standards
DEF helps diesel vehicles meet the strict guidelines set by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Without DEF, a diesel engine's performance and efficiency would decline. By substantially reducing NOx emissions, DEF ensures that heavy machinery and trucks meet the stringent guidelines set by the EPA.
Keeps the Vehicle Running Smoothly
DEF is essential for the smooth operation of diesel vehicles. Without DEF, the engine's efficiency drops, leading to reduced performance and increased fuel consumption. For instance, a vehicle without DEF gives a mileage of 2.5 km, whereas with DEF, mileage goes to 3.3 km — a 32% decrease in efficiency. DEF not only saves fuel costs but also ensures the engine runs cleaner, lasts longer, and complies with emission standards.
How Much It Reduces NOx Emissions?
It achieves a remarkable 85 – 95% reduction in NOx emissions.
| Vehicle | Without DEF (metric tons) |
With DEF (metric tons) |
|---|---|---|
| Truck | 860,000 | 129,000 |
| Bus | 680,000 | 102,000 |
| Pickup | 111,000 | 22,000 |
| Car | 17,000 | 3,000 |
