Designed to Run Clean
As emissions standards increase, your business depends on conforming to regulations. Freightliner is on the cutting edge of designing and implementing emissions technologies that exceed standards now and into the future.
SCR: The Simple Choice
Engines using SCR treat NOx emissions outside of the engine, allowing them to perform more efficiently with reduced EGR. The end result is an engine that provides great performance, great fuel economy and meets the EPA 2010 regulations.
What is SCR Technology?
SCR emissions technology is designed to bring medium- and heavy-duty diesel emissions to EPA 2010 standards.
Your Freightliner truck is equipped with a Detroit (or Cummins) exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) engine.
After the exhaust leaves the engine, it runs through a diesel oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter to remove soot and particulate matter.
Then the exhaust is combined with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), sent through a final SCR catalyst to remove NOx, and finally, water and nitrogen are released into the air.
SCR: Better for Business
Freightliner Trucks chose Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) emissions technology because it increases the efficiency of the engine’s performance, thereby optimizing fuel economy by up to 5%*. Combine that with its ease of use, and you have the best solution for today’s trucking.
With over 2,500 DEF distribution locations in North America, combined with the fact that a driver can go over 7,500 miles on a single tank of DEF, running out should never be an issue.

SCR: Proven on the Pavement
Cascadia
The Cascadia is one of the most fuel-efficient Class 8 trucks on the road. When you combine that with the enhanced fuel economy of an SCR system, you get even more out of your investment. Every new Cascadia comes standard equipped with an SCR system, regardless of which engine you choose. So whether you drop in a Detroit DD13®, DD15® or DD16® or a Cummins ISX, you’re ready to get rolling down the road, well into the future.
Coronado
With classic styling and the fuel efficiency you’ve come to expect from Freightliner Trucks, the Coronado will turn heads while you turn a profit. The Coronado was built off-road tough but with the fuel economy you want for your on-highway needs. And since every new truck comes with SCR built in, it’s ready to keep on driving for years to come.
M2
Our premier medium-duty truck —the M2— can handle all of your vocational needs. The M2 product line comes with an SCR-equipped engine from Cummins, or with a BlueTec SCR-equipped DD13® engine from Detroit. If you’re going across town or across the street, the M2 gives you the strength and versatility you need to help your business Run Smart.
SD - Severe Duty
Our newest product line, the 108SD, 114SD, and the Coronado SD, are designed to serve the most rugged applications called for in severe-duty vocational segments. Developed specifically for tough service demands and close-quarters duty in tight urban settings, every new SD truck comes equipped with SCR built in to enhance fuel economy, increase performance and help your business Work Smart.
Detroit BlueTec SCR Emissions Technology
BlueTec emissions technology is the name of Detroit’s SCR emission system. BlueTec has been used by Daimler in Europe since 2005, and on more than 200,000 trucks. Detroit has more than 20 million miles of testing in North America with BlueTec emission technology. One thing about BlueTec that you won’t find anywhere else is their 1-Box solution. This proprietary setup keeps your diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter and SCR catalyst all in one place, which increases fuel economy by lowering engine backpressure.
Every DD13, DD15 and DD16 from Detroit is equipped with BlueTec emissions technology.
To learn more about Detroit BlueTec emissions technology, please visit EPA 2010 at Detroit.
Cummins’ SCR solution consists of a highly capable base engine with cooled EGR, along with the Cummins Aftertreatment System that incorporates the Cummins Particulate Filter and Cummins Selective Catalytic Reduction Catalyst. The Cummins Aftertreatment System combined with its engine line-up (ISB6.7, ISC8.3 and ISX15) offers some great benefits for customers including better fuel economy, excellent performance, improved throttle response and better reliability compared to 2007 engines.
