Executives from truck and engine manufacturers, diesel exhaust fluid producers, fuel retailers, distributors, and dispensing equipment suppliers met with members of trade associations and government agencies to plan for the rollout of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in diesel-powered vehicles.

The meetings, spearheaded by the North American SCR Stakeholder Group, took place during the recent US Department of Energy's Diesel Engine-Efficiency and Emissions Research (DEER) Conference.

Key to the SCR rollout is the development of a distribution and retail infrastructure to support the availability of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), a fluid that enables SCR systems in vehicles to operate.
