The MSRC's Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment Retrofit Program funds 100% of the cost of purchasing and installing a CARB-verified particulate trap or diesel oxidation catalyst, not to exceed a maximum of $8,500 per qualifying vehicle.
68000.00
The object of this project was to install particulate trap devices on eight (8) vehicles including three street sweepers, a water truck, a tree truck, a dump truck, an asphalt truck, and a sewer jetter truck.
Users have not observed any difference in performance since the particulate traps were installed. Vehicle maintenance records do not indicate any unusual problems or mechanical issues associated with the installation of the particulate traps. The City uses low sulfur fuel exclusively for all of its diesel powered vehicles and equipment.
All vehicles were successfully retrofitted in May and June of 2006 and placed back into service.
