The way I understand it, the new system (that DaimlerChrysler will use in their commercial vehicles come 2007) is made of 3 parts.

1) A Thermal regenerator - it reheats the exhaust gases to burn more completely and reduce soot

2) The Plasma Fuel generator - this is the "ActiveClean" part. It burns diesel fuel into hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide, then injects this modified exhaust into the standard diesel exhaust stream.

3) You have soot traps and selective catalyzation to reduce the nitrogen oxides.

Supposedly, this system is small enough to put it in existing vehicles. It creates a TON of heat however, up to 600 degrees F. I can see the useablility of it in larger vehicles, and I realize that AMG's GEP states that they will use it, but I find it really hard to see how it will fit into an H1 chassis tunnel, working around the transfer case, the frame, and other stuff. If it's the same diameter as the stock exhaust (3.5" diameter at the flares), its possible. The heat issue is what's really going to be a hard thing to overcome.

What they are not saying is that the H1 will be brought back into production with the same drive train set-up prior to the Duramax in (2) years. Someone is trying to save face regarding adding the Duramax/Allison with the much higher selling price that resulted in a major decrease in sales. The old H1 with the 6500 Optimizer will be back in either 08 or 09 with a sale price much lower than the Alpha. Please be patient, the Optimizer equipped H1 is coming back!

And your post belongs in this thread why exactly?
