CALGARY AB: Smart Muffler Corporation shareholder ECOS of Osaka, Japan, has identified 10,000 heavy duty delivery vehicles for potential installation of Smart Mufflers over a 5 year period. The vehicles operate in densely populated Japanese metropolitan areas of Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya that are highly regulated and have strict emissions controls.
ECOS is highly optimistic that pending signed contracts will lead to other orders in the Japanese market. In excess of 1.5 million delivery vehicles operate in metropolitan areas. Along with being a major shareholder in Smart Muffler, ECOS is the sole distributor of Smart Muffler products in Japan.
The Smart Muffler Corporation proprietary diesel engine after treatment system dramatically reduces exhaust particles matter (PM) to almost zero. The after treatment system combined with diesel engine operating efficiency and economic benefits make dieselization a common sense method for fighting pollution caused by engine exhaust.
Worldwide awareness, understanding, and concern about the extreme health problems caused by ingesting hazardous engine exhaust particulates have forced governments to legislate stricter emissions standards. Global regulations limiting engine exhaust emissions are being enacted and enforced, particularly in highly congested metropolitan areas.
The Smart Muffler is ideal for OEM installation or for diesel engine after market installation. Because the system can be easily retrofitted to older vehicles, the Smart Muffler provides governments and operators a way to make an immediate and significant reduction on diesel engine emissions through mass installation on single and fleet vehicles.
The filtration efficiency of the Smart Muffler is particularly effective because the proprietary filter is self cleaning. Competitors must clean and maintain their filters. Fuel consumption gradually increases as their after-treatment filters become clogged. Costs for cleaning or changing the filters are often increased due to filter damage caused during the process.
