Now that the inland navigation sector has to comply with the same emission standards as the industrial and agricultural sectors, transport over inland waterways is taking a big step forward.

After four years of developing, the equivalence of the Euro VI DAF/PACCAR MX-11 and -13 engines adapted by NPS Diesel and Vink Diesel for inland navigation vessels is a fact. NPS and Vink marinise the standard MX engines and, therefore, they now comply with all the required standards.

The compliance with the IWW Stage V emission legislation is even more than adequately achieved. The result: up to 98% reduction of nitrogen oxides, 99% less soot emission, and a fuel consumption (read CO2 emission) that is a guaranteed 16% lower than the consumption of the previous generation of CCR2 ship diesel engines.
