The delivered trucks are powered by Volvo D13 engines with 405 hp and 1450 lb-ft of torque, and Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmissions. The trucks are the cleanest trucks, since they are certified without the use of emissions credits.
Working with Volvo Trucks, Talon has been field testing advanced emission control technologies. For the past seven years, the two companies have tested SCR systems in real world operation in Talon’s fleet. The company also inaugurated Volvo Trucks’ EPA’10 customer field testing in September 2007.
EPA2010 diesel emissions standards require near zero-emissions. The use of SCR is already wide spread in Europe among other markets. Volvo Trucks has its heavy-duty 11 and 13 liter diesel engines certified for 2010 by both EPA and CARB.
