    I guess it would depend on whos design of fuel dosing you are refering to. At the company I worked to previous to this one. We had very good luck with the cummins that did not use any dosing at all. Where as the CAT and international had a lot of problems and were all around junk. They both spent more time on the tow truck it would seem then moving cargo. Although this was not entirely due to the aftertreament, it was also fueling issues. But the aftertreament really gave us problems.

    I did do some research on how the volvo system is set up and we do have a test model here. I am looking it over now.

    The Cummins used a straight passive system? Or your saying they injected in cylinder on the exhaust stroke?.

    A straight passive system should have far more issues than an active system unless the drivers ran them hard all day and never idled them.

    An in cylinder system has fewer compinents to fail but the long term fuel useage, additional oil useage and increased engine wear are catch up at the end.

    our company got 8 d-13 with ishifts and the the drivers assigned to the trucks dont want to drive anything else but the ones that dont normally drive them dont like them. i think they are the state of the art , with the ishift and the ecoroll we are doing real good with them in the mpg area. they have solid power great engine braking system we have had some turbo issues and injector issues with them at first but since then they have been realy reliable
