Emissions performance with Nissens truck turbos
Nissens offers a variety of turbochargers as part of its heavy-duty vehicle components portfolio.
After successfully launching a range of turbos for passenger cars, in 2021 the firm expanded its programme with a heavy commercial vehicle range. Today, it covers 60+ truck turbo parts, many of which fit Euro V-VI engine models.
“Nissens turbochargers are made of the highest grade raw materials and are designed to secure an excellent engine output and long durability,” said the company.
“Many of the turbo compressor wheels are made of high quality titanium alloy, for example, which is a perfect solution for heavy-duty applications, as it can withstand extreme thermal and mechanical loads and reduce material fatigue. In addition, all Nissens turbos undergo a thorough series of tests and calibration to ensure the optimal turbo flow, for the best engine performance.
“Besides the excellent quality and finish, the Nissens turbo programme has been designed as a very competitive aftermarket solution because all are factory new parts, requiring no surcharge or return of the old units, making them a convenient solution for technicians.
“Moreover, they are packed with care and come with essential parts such as prime oil, gaskets and stretch bolts, which are all included in the box to ensure that the (First Fit) installation process is easy and safe.
“A truck fitted with a Nissens turbocharger can therefore be expected to secure the same power, emissions performance, and fuel consumption as the original turbo, making it an easy to install, optimally performing, and long-lasting replacement.”
Nissens can also help technicians when it comes to the correct installation of numerous replacement components. Resources include a training video concerning the turbocharger and heat exchanger replacement for a Scania R450. It is available via support.nissens.com (search ‘R450’).
Nissens highlights its 100+ years of experience in designing, developing, and manufacturing thermal system components for vehicles and industrial applications. Today, the company’s heavy-duty parts programme includes more than 830 part numbers that cater for nearly 4,000 OE numbers, offering excellent truck parc coverage of over 85 per cent within key product lines and Euro VI applications.
The programme includes replacement parts for popular truck models such as DAF, MAN, Scania, Volvo, RVI, Iveco, and Mercedes-Benz, and provides related parts for three main product groups: Engine Cooling System, Climate Comfort System, and Engine Efficiency & Emissions. The range is continuously evolving, with Nissens developing around 100 new products over the last 12 months alone.
“In the highly demanding heavy duty sector, a strong emphasis on reliability is a standard approach, which is why the company’s concept of ‘Genuine Nissens Quality’ has been established to fully meet these expectations,” said the firm.
“It means all Nissens products are designed, developed, manufactured, and tested according to market-recognised, high-quality standards, with advanced test and validation processes performed at an in-house test centre and by professional external institutes.
“Along with several specially engineered product features, the Genuine Nissens Quality stamp ensures the excellent fit of each component, making installation easy, providing supreme longevity, and the proper operation of the system, through the optimal performance of the part.”
Nissens has supported high-profile racing within various vehicle segments and technologies.
“For decades, standard Nissens heat exchangers have been successfully used in many forms of motorsport, and in recent years, in extreme competitions such as truck racing,” the company continued.
“The cooling systems in these trucks must maintain the correct thermal condition of the 1,200 HP-strong engine, which is pushed to its limits under extreme conditions with fast-changing pace, hot ambient temperatures, and limited airflow.
“Thanks to the features incorporated into Nissens radiators, oil coolers, and intercoolers, which secure excellent cooling performance and supreme durability, regular stock items are used by most truck racing teams in the highly demanding FIA European Truck Racing Championship.”
