www.chinabuses.org: As a first engine manufacturer DAF launches its EEV engines on the Chinese market recently, thus going a step further with regard to emissions reduction as all other engine manufacturers, whose target at this moment is the Euro 5 level, and the Chinese equivalent of this level.

DAF EEV Launch China 2010

However, DAF decided to offer to particularly Chinese bus and coach manufacturers their EEV engines. EEV stands for Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicles, the most severe mission standard there is worldwide at this moment, for internal combustion engines. This standard mandates an extremely low emission of particulates. The Paccar PR and MX engines, which DAF will offer to its Chinese partners, achieve even 25 percent below EEV standards in PM emission. For Chinese cities it would be a perfect extension of their tools to come to a cleaner inner-city environment, like it is in Europe. DAF was rewarded with the BAAV Award Alternative Plaza during the recent Shanghai Busworld exhibition.
