What is dodge bluetec engine?

"Dodge Bluetec" is a bit of a misnomer. It doesn't refer to a specific engine type, but rather to a technology used in Dodge diesel engines.

Here's what you need to know:

* Bluetec is a brand name for diesel engines developed by Daimler AG, which is also the parent company of Mercedes-Benz.

* Dodge vehicles, as part of the Stellantis group, adopted the Bluetec technology for their diesel engines. It's a way to improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions in their diesel vehicles.

* The Bluetec technology focuses on using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems which add a chemical (DEF - Diesel Exhaust Fluid) into the exhaust stream to reduce NOx emissions (nitrogen oxides).

So, when you see "Dodge Bluetec engine" it means the engine is a diesel engine that utilizes Daimler's Bluetec technology to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy.

Here's a quick breakdown:

* Dodge: The vehicle brand.

* Bluetec: The emissions reduction technology by Daimler.
