The Volvo D13 Euro 6 engine technology
To comply with the requirements for the Euro 6 norm, Volvo used their Euro 5 6-cylinder engine as a starting point. In addition to the exhaust gas after-treatment system SCR, the new Euro 6 Volvo engine is equipped with a system that converts the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. During the operation, the particulate filter is automatically regenerated.
