The Diesel Technology Forum (DTF) announced a virtual event to discuss the future of diesel, exploring technologies and policies that will help determine the future for diesel technology. The event, to be held August 20, from 2 PM – 3:15 PM ET, is the first in a two-part series exploring the future for diesel technology in all applications.

“The prospect and promise of new fuels and technologies is a topic of great discussion today, just as the challenges of the future are formidable,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum, a not-for-profit association representing manufacturers of diesel engines and equipment, key suppliers of emissions control, and other technologies and fuel producers. “Reducing environmental and climate impacts and meeting customer demands for more efficiency and productivity is the challenge for the future for all fuels and technologies. This session will highlight how diesel technology is evolving, improving, and prepared to meet those challenges and continue to play a dominant role in key sectors of the economy.”

“Our session will explore the innovations in technologies to achieve even lower emissions and greater efficiency as well as government policies and other influences,” said Schaeffer. “Diesel has always been a technology of continuous improvement and innovation, and we are fortunate for this session to have industry leaders Bosch, Tenneco, and Umicore to share their insights and perspectives on technology development, regulatory influences, and customer demands driving the diesel powertrains of the future.”
