Non Road Diesel Engine Retrofit

The Non-Road Diesel Retrofit program provides co-funding of 50-90% for the retrofit of particle filters to the engines of non-road diesel plant and equipment, such as tractors, graders, cranes and excavators. It aims to reduce diesel particle pollution and is part of the Office of Environment and Heritage's broader Clean Machine Program.

The financial incentive offered is calculated based on the reduction in particle emissions that can be achieved through the installation of the filter. Factors affecting emissions include the extent of use, age and size of the engine. Machine owners are encouraged to contact the RTA to determine potential contributions available for their machines.

Diesel Particle Filters

Diesel particle filters are exhaust treatment devices that are installed on diesel engines, usually in place of the muffler. While the program covers various types of particle filters, the device that is primarily used is the Particulate Oxidation Catalyst. This device removes over 50 per cent of particulate matter by trapping and oxidizing the particles.
