Dinex rolls out new Euro VI silencer range
While packed with advanced technologies, the repairability of traditional Euro VI silencers is highly limited by the original design, according to exhaust solutions provider Dinex. But the company says its innovative new concept is about to change that, with the first solution already available for Iveco Eurocargo.
“A lot of things can go wrong with a Euro VI silencer,” said the company.
“The catalysts may deteriorate, get damaged, or AdBlue deposits may form and prevent free flow. Yet only the particulate filter is designed for removal and replacement, meaning when other failures happen, the options are limited: buy a new silencer or find a remanufactured replacement. Now, Dinex introduces a third option.
“Inspired by the simplicity of inline-styled systems often seen in American trucks, this new design concept allows for replacement of any catalyst, and access to nearly all interiors, without cutting and welding. Just bolts, screws and clamps, meaning workshops can do simple repairs, save time and costs, with a minimal risk of poor assembly.”
The aftermarket supplier offers both complete Euro VI silencers and a full range of catalysts and filters (all type approved), and has been working with some of Europe’s leading remanufacturers for years.
Product management director Rogier van der Ouderaa (pictured, right) has been involved from the beginning and has collected important insight from the industry.
“A new Euro VI silencer is expensive, and it comes with a carbon footprint way above 1 ton of CO2 in terms of raw materials and production resources,” he said.
“The remanufacturers are doing an important piece of work restoring malfunctioning silencers, and we’re proud of supporting them with that. But the market is limited by availability, and that’s why we think this new innovative concept is a great supplement, allowing workshops to do simple repairs instead of replacing the whole silencer.”
The new design concept supplements Dinex’ Euro VI portfolio, which already consists of traditional silencers, substrates for remanufacturing, reconditioned filters, a full range of sensors, pumps and injectors, and all the pipes and clamps from turbo to tailpipe.
But working with Euro VI is not only about parts, the company says. Technical support manager Karlis Banis (pictured, right) spends a lot of his time supporting and training mechanics, technicians and technical buyers in Euro VI technology, and sees a clear trend in the market.
“This new design concept adds yet another way we can support workshops in keeping trucks on the road,” he commented.
“But perhaps the most important thing we have to offer is our know-how. Our experience as technology supplier to leading OEMs allows us to develop innovative products for the aftermarket that goes beyond OE benchmarks. Combined with our high focus on training and technical support for our customers, we really see ourselves as more than a simple supplier: we’re a partner.”
The fully repairable silencer for Iveco Eurocargo was made available for sale in January 2025, and similar concepts are in progress scheduled for release later this year.
