What happens here
Hitachi excavators are powered by Isuzu engines. A significant advantage is their aftertreatment system, which does not require a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Instead, it uses a series of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) filters combined with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and ammonia DEF fluid. This makes the system 99% maintenance-free, a claim proudly stated in their operator's manuals, signifying a high level of confidence from a conservative Japanese company. Users are encouraged to run the machines wide open and avoid excessive idling for optimal performance and extended component life.
Goal: Hitachi emphasizes the power and efficiency of their Isuzu engines, paired with a nearly maintenance-free aftertreatment system that eliminates the need for DPF.
