The original project target was Tier 2 Bin 2 emissions, but in August 2013, it was agreed to shift that to the Tier 3 target—essentially the same with combined NO x and NMOG emissions, but more strict with CO and PM. 20 bar BMEP @ 2000 - 4500 rpm. Installed in a 2013 Fusion. Earlier post.). Earlier post.). The approach.
