    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for decreasing harmful emissions is provided. The system includes an aftertreatment system configured to receive exhaust gas from an engine system; a heater coupled to the aftertreatment system and configured to provide heat; and a controller coupled to the heater. The controller is configured to: determine that the engine system is idling; in response to determining that the engine system is idling, determine whether a value regarding operation of the engine system is greater than a threshold value; in response to determining that the value is greater than the threshold value, determine whether a temperature regarding the aftertreatment system is greater than a threshold temperature; and in response to determining that the temperature of the aftertreatment system is greater than the threshold temperature, at least one of disable or partially disable the heater.

    Abstract: A method comprises determining that an aftertreatment system is in a cold-operation mode; initiating a low engine-out NOx (LEON) mode by controlling a component of a vehicle containing the aftertreatment system to decrease an instantaneous engine out NOx (EONOx) amount and to increase exhaust energy relative to a normal operation mode for an engine of the vehicle; receiving information indicative of an operating status of the vehicle during the LEON mode; disengaging the LEON mode; subsequent to disengaging the LEON mode, initiating a thermal management (TM) mode for the aftertreatment system, wherein the TM mode is initiated by controlling a component of the vehicle to increase fueling to the engine for a power level by reducing engine efficiency and directing excess fuel to the aftertreatment system; receiving information indicative of an operating status of the vehicle during the TM mode; and disengaging the TM mode.

    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for decreasing harmful emissions is provided. The system includes an aftertreatment system comprising an exhaust conduit that directs exhaust gas from an engine system; a heater coupled to the aftertreatment system and configured to provide heat; and a controller coupled to the heater. The controller is configured to: determine whether the engine system is idling; in response to determining that the engine system is idling, determine whether a conversion efficiency of the engine system is greater than a threshold value; in response to determining that the conversion efficiency is greater than the threshold value, determine whether a temperature regarding the aftertreatment system is greater than a threshold temperature; and in response to determining that the temperature of the aftertreatment system is greater than the threshold temperature, at least one of disable or partially disable the heater.

    Abstract: A method includes: initiating a low engine-out NOx (LEON) mode by controlling a component of a vehicle having an aftertreatment system to decrease an instantaneous engine-out NOx (EONOx) amount; comparing a temperature of the aftertreatment system during the LEON mode to a warm-operation threshold temperature; responsive to determining that the temperature of the aftertreatment system exceeds the warm-operation threshold temperature, disengaging the LEON mode; responsive to determining that the temperature of the aftertreatment system is below the warm-up operation threshold temperature, comparing information indicative of an operating status of the vehicle to a LEON exit threshold; and disengaging the LEON mode responsive to determining that the information indicative of the operating status of the vehicle during the LEON mode exceeds the LEON exit threshold.
