As with the Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Ecomax engine, it will be possible to de-tier the Tier 4 Final range, to allow customers to sell used equipment in less regulated territories. All JCB dealers worldwide will have the technology to remove the SCR kit, reduce the fuel injection pressures and recalibrate the engine control system to de-tier the Ecomax engines. A lubricity doser may be required in some countries depending on the quality of local fuel.
The unwanted aftertreatment
A study by Manfredi & Associates investigates how emissions regulations will change how equipment is purchased and sold.

In engines of similar or same displacement, the main factors that contribute to an increase in specific power are: utilization of more complex-structure turbochargers, such as variable-geometry or dual-stage; an increase in peak cylinder pressure and the use of an SCR-only aftertreatment system without any recycling of exhaust gas in cylinder, especially in engines with a displacement higher than four liters.
The trend toward higher power densities
Tier regulations have pushed for more advanced engine technology and optimized systems, the rewards of which are more power from smaller engines.
