Re: 25% better mpg from current diesels? Too good to be true?

Observed benefits also include reduced regeneration cycles, DEF consumption, and visible exhaust/opacity, along with noticeably smoother and quieter operation." Steve There is more than the cost to measure value. Being able to increase range by 25% is worth something. If it increases pollution, it’s worth nothing.309Views0likes0Comments- 3.1KViews0likes8Comments
