DPR is a particulate-emissions reduction system that has been developed to reduce particulate emissions in production commercial vehicles and consists of a multiple fuel-injection system, an engine electronic control unit, and a DPR-Cleaner which includes an oxidation catalyst, a catalyzed particulate filter, and silencers. DPR performs active regeneration to accelerate the regeneration of the filter under engine operating conditions where regeneration by passive regeneration alone is not sufficient. Thus, DPR makes it possible to regenerate the filter regardless of the exhaust gas temperature and enables significant reduction of particulate in commercial vehicles to levels below 0.027 g/kWh under Japan's D13 mode operating conditions. The authors describe development results of the DPR.
