  • HEP-isode 36

    Not a fan of autonomous semitrucks, and ask everyone why there isn’t autonomous trains in this country? There’s always a truck driver shortage and a update rail system would help drivers to stay more local to their homes

The numberless HEP-isode, Steel, and Special Guest: Volvo Trucks
Q: What are the main challenges with meeting 2027 emission standards and the NOx limits?
The main challenges involve aftertreatment requirements and the fact that regulators still expect NOx reductions even if DEF usage changes; automakers are balancing new emission controls with staying reliable and maintaining performance, so solutions like enhanced aftertreatment, heating elements, and platform integration are key.
