power take-off. • Closed crankcase ventilation (option).
The D13C420 is a low-emission engine – in terms of both exhaust gases
and noise. The exhaust gases are after-treated using SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) technology so the engine meets the EU’s EEV (Enhanced Environ-
mental friendly Vehicle) emission standards. Through optimised calibration of
the electronic engine control system, particulate emissions have been cut by
33 % and smoke by 70 % compared with the corresponding Euro 5 levels.
As a result, this engine is environmentally optimised and particularly suitable
for vulnerable city environments and metropolitan green zones that impose
tough particulate and smoke emission standards.
The D13C420 is available with VEB+ (Volvo Engine Brake) as an option.
This system provides extremely high braking effect, further improving safety
and reducing wear on the wheel brakes.
