Yes, I have seen that. The entire ArvinMeritor emissions control line comprises of a system that goes between the turbo exhaust outlet and the first stage catalytic converter.
The way I understand it, the new system (that DaimlerChrysler will use in their commercial vehicles come 2007) is made of 3 parts.
1) A Thermal regenerator - it reheats the exhaust gases to burn more completely and reduce soot
2) The Plasma Fuel generator - this is the "ActiveClean" part. It burns diesel fuel into hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide, then injects this modified exhaust into the standard diesel exhaust stream.
3) You have soot traps and selective catalyzation to reduce the nitrogen oxides.
Supposedly, this system is small enough to put it in existing vehicles. It creates a TON of heat however, up to 600 degrees F. I can see the useablility of it in larger vehicles, and I realize that AMG's GEP states that they will use it, but I find it really hard to see how it will fit into an H1 chassis tunnel, working around the transfer case, the frame, and other stuff. If it's the same diameter as the stock exhaust (3.5" diameter at the flares), its possible. The heat issue is what's really going to be a hard thing to overcome.
