Mack Trucks and Volvo Trucks North America Select HUSS for Retrofit Diesel Particulate Filters

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Feb. 11, 2009 -- Mack Trucks, Inc. and Volvo Trucks North America, as part of the Volvo Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and construction equipment, select HUSS for their new retrofit diesel particulate filter solution to allow operators of older-model Mack and Volvo trucks to meet stringent new emissions requirements approved by California environmental regulators in December 2008.

"HUSS, LLC was chosen by Mack and Volvo trucks as a direct ship supplier because of their quality products and product lines. The HUSS product line not only covers current retrofit needs but future retrofit needs as well," explains Darin Redmon, Engine Marketing Manager - Parts Marketing. "We feel that HUSS will complement our legacy trucks and follow our corporate environmental values. We look forward to offering HUSS products through our Mack and Volvo dealerships."

The HUSS MK diesel particulate filter system, which is an active regeneration technology, is verified to meet California's CARB Level 3 requirements (greater than 85% particulate collection). Vehicle owners using the system will be able to meet the "In-Use On-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation", and future pending legislations.

The HUSS retrofit system is capable of collecting up to 99% of diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions, exceeding substantially the CARB requirements. In addition, the HUSS MK filter may also be applied to on-road engines using diesel fuel that contains as much as 20% biodiesel.

"The HUSS Group offers the widest range of verified diesel filter systems on the global market today and we are honored to have been selected by Mack Trucks, Inc. and Volvo Trucks North America to provide diesel particulate filters for their new retrofit program," comments Peter Bruenke, Director of North America, HUSS, LLC. "We are committed to providing the highest level of quality products that Mack and Volvo Trucks demand and their customers expect."
