Emissions technology specialists Clean Diesel Technologies, Bridgeport, CT, has entered into a merger agreement with Catalytic Solutions Catalytic Solutions, Ventura, CA, which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.
Catalytic Solutions manufactures and distributes emissions control systems for heavy and light-duty diesel vehicles, including Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology which requires Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
