about retrofits
Stricter emission regulations present significant challenges for older but still fully functional vehicles and machines.
Instead of investing in new machines, required emission standards can be met by updating the exhaust aftertreatment. This updating is called retrofitting.
Resource-smart retrofitting
Retrofitting involves equipping existing heavy on-road vehicles, e.g. buses and trucks or off-road machinery with modern exhaust aftertreatment systems. The goal of retrofit solutions is to lower the local emissions to the level of new vehicles and machines.
Retrofitting a vehicle or machine with an advanced exhaust aftertreatment system is an approved and cost-effective method to reduce emissions and comply with stringent emission standards. Retrofitting extends the lifespan of machines and vehicles, making it a resource-efficient approach to utilizing them until the end of their lifecycle. This practice not only maximizes the value of existing assets but also contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for new resources.
How to be sure that the retrofit systems perform?
To ensure the reliability of a retrofit system, both verified emission reduction technology and real-time monitoring are required.
Proventia NOxBUSTER® retrofit emission control systems have been rigorously tested in international laboratories. They have been approved by authorities from several countries including, for example, the UK, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Hong Kong, and South Korea for reducing emissions from heavy vehicles and machines, thereby improving local air quality.
The performance and operation of a retrofit emission control system can be continuously monitored through a telematics solution. These solutions provide crucial data on the system’s operation and emission reduction performance.
Drive to Low Emission Zones
To improve air quality, many cities worldwide have implemented Low Emission Zones (LEZ) or Environmental Zones (E-Zones), which require machines and vehicles to meet certain emission standards before they are allowed to drive inside them. In some Low Emission Zones, drivers of higher-emission vehicles are required to pay more if they wish to enter the zone. By retrofitting even older vehicles are allowed to drive in such zones.
MEET tendering requirements
Public and private tenders often require contractors’ machines to fulfill specific emission standards. This can pose a challenge for machinery contractors, as otherwise well-maintained machinery may not meet these standards. Upgrading the machine’s emission class by retrofitting is a cost-effective way to extend its lifespan and participate in tenders.

level up with retrofits
Retrofitting a heavy vehicle or machine with a new exhaust aftertreatment system makes it just as clean as a new low-emission vehicle or machine – at a reasonable price.
