LONDON LOW EMISSION
ZONE: From 3 January 2012, trucks over 3.5 tonnes, buses and
coaches over 5 tonnes must have a Euro 4 emissions
particulate rating to comply with the LEZ changes. Truc
Technologies can provide a cost effective
Diesel Particulate
Filter solution for the LEZ.
If your vehicle is pre 2007 this may AFFECT you
! If you drive an
affected vehicle in the LEZ and it does not meet the required emissions standards, and you do not pay the
daily charge of £200, you may be liable for a Penalty Charge. This will be
issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle. For Your Compliance
Check And Order Enquiries Contact Paul Groves 07785 358937 Mark Moore 07944 445000 Office 0121 359 3992 A Penalty Charge Notice
(PCN) may also be issued if the daily charge has not been paid by midnight on
the next working day after travel, or if an incorrect vehicle registration
mark or day of travel was supplied when the charge was paid.A separate PCN may be issued for each
charging day that a vehicle which does not meet
the LEZ emissions standards is driven in the zone without payment of the
appropriate charge. The penalty charge for all affected vehicles that enter the LEZ is £1000 reduced to £500 if paid within
14 days and increased to £1500 if not paid within 28 days.
TECHNICAL DATA GreenUrban Company Approval No LEC154 for LEZ certification GreenUrban Certificate Approval No LEC154-01 All TFL approved technologies will require maintenance, which
for a Euro 3 engine is cleaning and removing ash from the DPF at least
annually. If the vehicle does not reach the required regeneration temperatures, more frequent
cleaning will be required. Therefore cleaning should be added as part of the
vehicle maintenance programme Temperature profiles should be analysed on an
individual basis. Valid information about
how this can be achieved by a data logging on the specific application. Active re-generation may be required if temperature
requirements are not met.
£200 PER DAY THE COST OF ENTERING THE LOW EMISSION ZONE ! FROM THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY 20 VISITS TRUC TECHNOLOGIES CAN MAKE YOUR MONEY GO FURTHER Specific Mapping is required for
the fitment of all DPFs so dont DELAY! ORDER TODAY! Maintenance & Warranty All TFL approved technologies come with a 2 year manufacturers warranty and as previously mentioned will
have a maintenance requirement, which for a Euro 3 engine is cleaning and
removing ash from the DPF annually. If the vehicle does not reach the
required regeneration temperatures, more frequent cleaning may be required.
Therefore cleaning should be added as part of the vehicle maintenance programme. As
described in the technical data, the exhaust temperature is of vital
importance for the filter regeneration. Filter regeneration is required to
keep the back pressure below what is recommended by the engine manufacturer. Other
factors that have serious impact on filter regeneration are complications
with the actual engine condition. The engine condition is to be evaluated for
all engines and special attention to be paid to engines with poor or non existent maintenance records. Critical factors are
outlined below: Consumption
of Lubrication Oil Excessive consumption of
lubrication oil is detrimental because it increases the raw emissions going
into the filter. Lube oil contributes to premature loading of the filter with
high amounts of soot and a soot composition which is very difficult to
regenerate. In addition to that, lubrication oil does contain many different
inorganic additives that will contribute to accumulation of ash in the filter
over time, reducing the time between required cleanings. Excessive
consumption of lubrication oil can be caused by:
Excessive wear of piston rings
Leaking valve seals
Leaking head gasket
Crankcase pressure
Overfilling of lube oil Besides
excessive engine wear, excessive lube oil consumption can be caused by
overfilling the engine with lube oil. Lube oil levels are to be strictly kept
below the maximum limits indicated FULL on the oil dip stick. Excessive
consumption of lubrication oil will prevent the filter technology to function
optimally. Fuel
Consumption: Excessive fuel consumption
is not just costly from an operating point of view but also an important
inhibiting factor for effective filter regeneration. The more fuel, the more
soot going into the filter and the longer periods of high load will be
required to regenerate the filter and/or will reduce the time between
required maintenance and cleaning. Excessive
fuel consumption can be caused by
Worn/leaking injectors
Incorrect valve adjustment
Incorrect injection pump timing Engine
wear related issues can be detected by metering the smoke level before
fitting the filter. This can be measured by a standard opacity meter and the
K-value (Coefficient. of light absorption in m-1) must not exceed 2. Prior to installation it is
required to change lube oil and replace oil, fuel and air filter. Payment Terms : Normal LEZ terms are £1000 deposit with balance paid
on same week of installation & certification. Truc Technologies can offer an advance monthly easy plan payment scheme TRUC
