Case IH uses technology to lower emissions
By Heather Thorstensen

Bill Whitworth, a sales manager for Case IH, says 2011 Magnum and Steiger models use technology to meet new regulations for lower emissions. The new diesel exhaust fluid tank, part of the system to lower emissions, is visible on the Steiger in the background.
KASSON, Minn.— Case IH’s 2011 models of Magnum and Steiger tractors now at dealerships are the company’s first models required to meet the latest emissions regulations.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 4 regulations reduce the amount of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbon that may be emitted in new non-road diesel engines. The rule was created to improve air quality and reduce health risks for people and animals. Canada and European countries also have emissions regulations.
Case IH is using two types of technology to meet Tier 4 regulations.
Tractors with more than 100 horsepower will use selective catalytic reduction, or SCR. This system treats exhaust gases with a diesel exhaust fluid. The chemical reaction turns exhaust into nitrogen gas vapor and water.
Tractors under 100 horsepower will use exhaust gas recirculation, or EGR. This system puts exhaust back into the engine and uses a filter to capture particulates.
Bill Whitworth, southern Minnesota and northwest Iowa sales manager for Case IH, said SCR will provide the best engine performance on their medium- to heavy-duty tractors.
Not recirculating exhaust back to the engine will allow it to run longer between maintenance stops and it improves fuel efficiency, said Whitworth.
It’s estimated SCR provides a 10 percent boost in fuel efficiency compared to EGR, he said.
A drawback of SCR is it requires the user to purchase diesel exhaust fluid, or DEF, which will be sold by Case IH dealers. DEF is approximately 33 percent synthetic urea and 67 percent deionized water.
DEF’s price will vary by Case IH dealer. It’s sold in 2.5 gallon containers, 55-gallon drums, 275- or 330-gallon totes or bulk size containers. Minnesota Ag Group in Kasson was recently selling 275-gallon totes for $3.89 per gallon.
The DEF tank will need to be filled every other time the diesel tank is filled. DEF tank sizes range from 15 gallons to 64 gallons, depending on the model.
It’s non-toxic, but operators will want to wash it off if it gets on them, said Whitworth. It has a shelf-life of up to two years when stored at room temperature. The system is designed so that DEF doesn’t freeze in the machines’ lines.
Case IH says the technology has proven itself reliable through a partnership with Fiat Powertrain Technologies, an engine manufacturer that has made SCR engines for worldwide customers since 2006.
Case IH’s light- to medium-duty tractors will use EGR systems because those tractors use less fuel. The boost in fuel efficiency that an SCR system would provide won’t make as big of an impact, said Whitworth.
Case IH sees itself as ahead of the curve by putting SCR technology in their larger tractors. According to company literature, some industry engineers say tractor engines will need SCR on medium- to heavy-duty engines to meet final Tier 4 regulations that will start to be phased in by 2014.
Both 2011 Steiger and Magnum models also feature new hoods and engines.
Kobelco Machinery has put out a website dedicated to their solution to the EPA Tier 4 mandate. Below is a picture of their SCR system, and I also provided a link to their Tier 4 Solution website.

Isuzu Truck Introduces 2011 N-Series Featuring NPR ECO-MAX Truck
With Increased Fuel Economy and Payload Capacity
Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc has introduced its new 12,000-lbs GVWR
NPR ECO-MAX low cab forward truck, offering up to 20% improved fuel economy and increased payload capacity compared to previous NPR models.
The new 2011 model year truck is powered by Isuzu’s next-generation 4JJ1-TC diesel engine, which has operated globally in Isuzu’s N-Series models for the last five years. The 4J engine family dates back to 1984 and is the highest volume engine produced by Isuzu. This is the first time the engine will be utilized in the U.S. market.
The turbocharged, 4-cylinder, 3-liter engine delivers 150 horsepower and 282 lbs.-ft torque. The 4J engine is 2010 EPA and CARB OBD compliant. It offers a B10 engine life rating of 310,000 miles, which means 90 percent of the engines should reach this mileage before needing an overhaul. The engine is mated to an Aisin heavy-duty, six-speed automatic transmission with double overdrive and lockup PTO function.
“The NPR ECO-MAX is the result of Isuzu’s commitment to help our environment by significantly reducing emissions and fuel usage,” said Shaun Skinner, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. “This truck is a product of our SEE design philosophy, which stands for Safety, Economy and Environment. This model has been specifically created to reduce the cost of ownership while meeting the world’s most stringent emissions requirements. We accomplished this without sacrificing performance, durability, or operating costs. Due to its broad torque curve, power density and 6-speed transmission, the NPR ECO-MAX has shown better hill climbing ability than the model it replaces. It’s also up to
170 lbs. lighter, so it offers increased payload capacity. We expect this unit to deliver enhanced productivity, minimum downtime and the lowest operating cost in the Class 3 truck segment.”
The cab of the NPR ECO-MAX is the same size as the previous NPR and offers 3-across seating. The cab tilts for easier servicing of the engine and transmission.
Wheelbase choices of 110 inches, 134 inches and 151 inches accommodate bodies up to 16 feet in length.
In addition to the NPR ECO-MAX, Isuzu is also pleased to introduce the 2011 model year NPR-HD (14,500 lbs GVWR), NQR (17,950 lbs GVWR) and NRR (19,500 lbs GVWR) models. These higher GVWR N-series models will be powered by a heavily revised version of the 5.2L 4HK1-TC engine first introduced in the 2005 model year. For 2011, the 4HK features increased power output (from 205 to 210 hp with an automatic transmission, and from 175 to 190hp with manual transmission) and up to 8% better fuel economy. Like the 4JJ1-TC engine powering the new NPR ECO-MAX, this revised 4HK1 engine is both EPA 2010 and CARB HD-OBD emissions compliant.
“Isuzu’s 2011 N-Series will be the only low cab forward trucks available for sale this year that meet the EPA’s 2010 emissions requirement with not only one engine but two engines,” Skinner added. “Isuzu is proud to introduce a product that meets the world’s most stringent emissions standards while reducing our customer’s cost of ownership through significantly improved vehicle fuel economy”.
To help reduce operating costs further, Isuzu’s exclusive Data Recording Module can provide a Vehicle Health Report showing the condition of the engine, transmission, emission system and brakes, plus fuel economy and driver operating habits. A new Multi-Information Display on the dashboard shows the driver real-time engine and truck operational performance data at a glance.
Isuzu’s 2011 model N-series product line uses selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to achieve the 2010 EPA emission standards. SCR is an after-treatment technology that involves injecting Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) (a water-based solution containing urea) into the hot exhaust stream of an engine. This Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), working with a catalyst in the exhaust after-treatment system, breaks down harmful oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Isuzu’s N-series trucks feature large panoramic windows that provide exceptional visibility for driver safety. The low cab forward design affords unsurpassed maneuverability. For the 2011 model year, wheel cut angles have been increased to 50 degrees, to provide a curb-to-curb turning circle diameter as little as 31.5 feet.
To extend durability, the cab has rust and corrosion protection provided by galvanized steel panels, electro-deposit paint primer and enamel paint topcoat. Unitary construction and strong reinforcements add to cab durability and safety.
Isuzu opened 2011 model year N-Series ordering on Monday, March 1, 2010. Isuzu’s N-diesel models are available from the factory in a variety of exterior cab colors: Arc White (standard), Wheatland Yellow, Woodland Green, Cardinal Red, Dark Blue and Ebony Black II.
Isuzu low cab forward trucks are distributed through 260 Isuzu truck dealers nationwide. Isuzu trucks have been the best-selling low cab forward brand in the U.S. every year since 1986.
