In a method for operating a urea dosing system in an exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) of an engine, an ambient temperature is measured in an environment in which the EATS is disposed, one or more temperatures associated with the EATS to which there is a relationship to a temperature of area in the urea dosing system are monitored. After turning off the engine, whether urea in the urea dosing system is subject to freezing is determined based on the measured ambient temperature and the one or more monitored temperatures. A reversion operation is performed after turning off the engine with a delay until one or more events occur, the one or more events including determining that urea in the urea dosing system is subject to freezing. An engine system is also provided.

An exhaust system for an engine includes an exhaust conduit, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device in the exhaust conduit, and a diesel emission fluid (DEF) system. The diesel emission fluid system includes a DEF delivery controller structured to receive a condition signal indicative of a DEF deposition risk condition in the exhaust system, and to command an increased heat energy output of a preheater to preheat DEF to be admitted into the exhaust conduit, such that a temperature of the DEF is increased to a deposition-mitigation temperature. Related methodology and control logic is also disclosed.

The preferred invention is directed to a controller for a vehicle exhaust valve. The controller comprises a vehicle interface for determining a live value for an operating parameter of a vehicle, a recording module being configured to, upon activation, instantaneously record the live value of the operating parameter, and a programming module for determining a value range based on the recorded live value and allowing a desired position of the valve to be set such that during operation, the control system automatically moves the valve to the desired position when the operating parameter is within the value range.

A sooty smoke filter regeneration control system of a hybrid vehicle, includes an engine, a sooty smoke filter installed in an exhaust line through which exhaust gas from the engine passes, and filtering out sooty smoke included in the exhaust gas; a temperature sensor installed in the front end of the sooty smoke filter, and measuring a temperature of exhaust gas flowing into the front end of the sooty smoke filter; an engine controller controlling a temperature of exhaust gas flowing into the sooty smoke filter and to control fuel injection of the engine, based on information associated with a grade of a road on which a vehicle is to drive; and a hybrid control unit controlling an engine clutch disposed between the engine and a motor that assists the engine in association with engine output, in response to a request from the engine controller.

The disclosure relates to a DPF regeneration trigger control method and terminal device, and a storage medium. The method includes: setting an active trigger differential pressure and an initial trigger differential pressure; and controlling, according to a relationship between a differential pressure of the DPF collected in real time during a vehicle travelling process and and the active trigger differential pressure and a relationship between the differential pressure of the DPF and the initial trigger differential pressure, the vehicle to actively start DPF regeneration, to trigger passive DPF regeneration, or not to start DPF regeneration; otherwise, controlling the vehicle to actively start DPF regeneration. According to the disclosure, by setting a flexible trigger interval, there is a tolerance interval of differential pressure, so that fuel consumption of the diesel engine can be reduced, and the economy is improved.

A transportation mobility system includes a data storage configured to maintain vehicle data indicating fuel consumption and count of passengers for vehicles of a transportation system, and user data describing movements of the passengers within the transportation system. The system also includes an emissions monitoring portal, programmed to provide, for vehicles of a fleet, estimates of pollutant emissions for the fleet and a percent share of miles completed by zero-emissions transportation for the fleet.

A method of maintaining a temperature of an aftertreatment system of a vehicle, the method including: operating, by a controller, a retarder reducing driving force of a propeller shaft of the vehicle in response to a retarder operation request signal; operating, by the controller, a jake brake device which discharges a fuel-air mixture compressed in an explosion stroke of the engine to an exhaust pipe and decreases revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine or an exhaust brake device which blocks a discharge of the exhaust gas of the engine to a rear end of the exhaust pipe and decreases the RPM of the engine, in order to remove the output error value; and controlling, by the controller, the engine so that an amount of exhaust gas introduced into the aftertreatment system is decreased.

A Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) Thawing arrangement and method is provided for use with a vehicle having an engine, an Engine Control Module (ECM), an exhaust system, and a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) catalytic device. A DEF injection system is connected to the exhaust system and to the ECM. A DEF tank is connected to the DEF injection system, and is provided with a Urea Quality Sensor (UQS). A coolant loop is connected to the engine and has a Coolant Control Valve (CCV) connected to a control module, and a coolant to DEF heat exchanger. A DEF temperature sensor and an ambient temperature sensor are connected to the control module. The control module is configured to trigger a CCV stuck open fault when the DEF tank temperature exceeds the ambient temperature by a threshold amount for a period of time.

Methods and systems are provided for user controlled engine revving. In one example, the engine may be revved to a peak speed according to a target revving sequence in response to a user-initiated command. A revving sound may be provided in response to an input device, without demanding manual depression of an accelerator pedal.

Systems and methods for operating an engine that includes an exhaust tuning valve in its exhaust system are described. In one example, a position of the exhaust tuning valve may be adjusted to reduce a possibility of the exhaust tuning valve becoming stuck due to freezing water. In particular, the exhaust tuning valve may be cycled as ambient temperature approaches a temperature at which water freezes.
