The introduction of the electronically controlled camshaft-less low speed diesel engines, which  is now gaining momentum, is a milestone in diesel technology that deserves a place in history like Rudolf Diesel’s first engine in Augsburg, the 1912 motor vessel Selandia, the introduction  of turbocharging on two-stroke diesels in 1954,and the first SCR (Selective Catalytic NOx Reduction) systems on ships in 1989.
