AGCO e3 technology-Brandy Brinson


AGCO's e3 technology is a clean air technology that the company is offering on its tractors (Agco, Massey Ferguson, and Challenger). The technology is a Select Catalytic Reduction system that lowers the Nitrogen Oxide and other particles that can be in emissions from the exhaust of diesel engines. The reduction takes place within the exhaust system with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid. A liquid urea solution is heated and turns into ammonia, and reacts with the Nitrogen Oxide and converts the potential pollutants into water, nitrogen, and small amounts of carbon dioxide. The product is carried on a separate container on the machine and uses about 3 gallons of the solution per 100 gallons of fuel.
