Repower
Repowers involve replacing an older engine with a cleaner new or remanufactured engine. The replacement engine meets more stringent emission standards and could be an engine that burns cleaner fuel as well. Repowers reduce emissions (NOx, particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, etc.), extend life of the equipment, and improve the engine’s efficiency, often saving money in fuel and maintenance costs. Use of a newer engine also enables the vehicle to be equipped with retrofit technologies like a diesel particulate filter. Engine replacements are performed by the engine dealers and are only performed on equipment that is compatible with the new engine. When faced with compliance of more stringent air quality standards, equipment operators should consider engine repowers as an economical alternative to equipment replacement.
