Maritime emission rule change

[Waterloo]

I would imagine that Cummins would go non-EGR worldwide. Makes no sense to keep these unreliable piles we currently get if they have something better. If it is better, LOL! Which leads to my next question..

Has anyone priced out the current all in one emission setup on the new X15 that is already on the market? And is it a three piece or modular unit, to replace the filters separately? Or is it an all in one unit which needs to be replaced in its entirety every year or two? It can't be much different than what Cummins is using in this non-EGR motor they plan to soon release.

I can only imagine what the cost will be, I am sure it will be stupid expensive in the beginning, to recapture the R&D and for the dealers to again rape us wholesale. I remember when my DPF cracked, $8000 to replace, + labor. I am sure these all in one units could easily hit $10,000 to $20,000, it would not surprise me in the least. When they charge $99 for a $4 petcock valve, or $150 to $200 for a $10 AC Dryer can, my thinking on the above is not out of line.
