Catalytic Converters (Catalysts)

Three-Way Catalysts a 3-way catalytic converter (“catalyst”) is now standard on every gasoline-engined vehicle.

Particulate Reduction Technologies

Particulate filters or Wall-flow Particulate filters remove particulate matter from the exhaust by filtration. They have a honeycomb structure like a catalyst substrate but with the channels blocked at alternate ends, which forces the exhaust gas to flow through the walls between the channels, filtering over 90% of the particulate matter out. The filters are […]

NOx Reduction Technologies

Exhaust Gas Recirculation technology is able to reduce diesel nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by taking a carefully controlled portion of the inert exhaust gases, cooling it and re-introducing it to the combustion chamber when conditions are right to do so. This reduces the high concentration of Oxygen and the high temperatures in the combustion chamber, […]

What is Harmonization?

Harmonization doesn’t always mean having identical requirements, because the needs of different countries can often vary – but it does mean at least eliminating unnecessary differences and bringing regulations closer together. In this way, where possible and practical, a single vehicle specification can be built to satisfy all requirements.
