STE. CLAIRE, Quebec - In conjunction with the introduction of 2010 Volvo engines in its motorcoaches, Prevost has developed a website that provides extensive information about the selective catalytic reduction technology used in the new engines.

The website can be found at www.VolvoBusSCR.com.

Prevost has been gearing up for months to adopt the 2010 Volvo D13 engine in the coaches it sells throughout North America.

Prevost executives says the selective catalytic reduction system developed by Volvo not only meets but exceeds 2010 USEPA requirements, delivering near-zero emissions of particulates and NOx (oxides of nitrogen).

"Volvos SCR, already well proven in Europe, combines the best aspects of exhaust gas recirculation with a diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction," said Michael Power, director of marketing for Prevost.

"The new system is the only one in the industry that meets the EPAs near-zero NOx emissions requirement while at the same time relieving drivers from having to worry about active regeneration," said Power.

The SCR website includes answers to frequently asked questions about diesel exhaust fluid, which must be used with SCR systems; information on diesel exhaust fluid availability, and other facts about SCR.

The site has a French-language version, and it can be linked from the Prevost website, www.prevostcar.com.

Separately, Prevost announced it now has a presence on Facebook.

"Facebook users can become fans of Prevost on the Prevost Facebook page," said Power.

The Prevost Facebook page features photographs of Prevost coaches supplied by fans. It also includes professional photos of all Prevost coach models, an upcoming events section, and links to Prevost news, blogs and related subjects, as well as general company information.

Facebook users can find the Prevost Facebook page by linking from the Prevost website; searching for "Prevost" on Facebook, or using this link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Prevost/185461153519.
