We are not a ‘conference company.’ Conferences are simply an extension of our core business. It is the reputation of Integer, our market knowledge, and our contacts that enable us to produce the industry’s leading Diesel Emissions Conference series. This places Integer in a unique and privileged market position and allows us to provide the industry with a comprehensive forum to meet, discuss and debate on the latest industry issues. In 2012, the Diesel Emissions Conference Series will cover Russia & CIS, Asia, South America, Europe, India and North America.

in b n Analysis in b n Day 1 The conference began with an introduction from Integer’s Director of Emissions, Tim Cheyne, who highlighted the challenges that the Brazilian market has experienced through the first half of 2012. There is no option to further delay emissions regulations and so the industry must find ways of helping customers face the challenges after 6 months of PROCONVE P7. Discussions looking ahead to PROCONVE P8 and light duty sectors were also highly anticipated. Keynote Session 1: The transition between PROCONVE P5 and PROCONVE P7 in Brazil Lucio Flavio Bicalho, Director of Customer Satisfaction and Quality, Iveco Latin America Ltda., started proceedings with a presentation introducing Iveco’s new generation of ECOLINE engines designed to meet P7. More than 200 vehicles were durability tested across 5 million kilometres of road in Brazil. Emphasis was placed on the need to acknowledge that experiences in Europe and North America are not always directly applicable elsewhere, and that a fundamental challenge in meeting P7 is going to be utilising the experience in other regions like Brazil, where the landscape presents a completely different situation than other markets. While the use of ARLA 32 is required for engines with SCR-equipped vehicles, Iveco decided to use both SCR and EGR in its latest engine range, and defends both technologies. Domingos Carapinha, Chief Engineer, MWM International Indústria Automotiva da América do Sul continued by sharing how MWM approached implementation of PROCONVE P7 in its MaxxForce heavy duty engine range, as well as the potential synergies in off-road platforms. The presentation focussed on the efficient use of development time through the use of geometric optimisation and development of vehicle performance simulation. In MWM’s current Euro V engine line, new components were added to the five core areas of the engine structure, combustion system, air management system, after-treatment and electronics (including OBD), resulting in an estimated 6-7% cost increase. Carapinha cited complications associated with fuel injection, due to space issues around the radiator, as the reason for switching from standalone EGR in North America to SCR technology in Brazil.
