Although gasoline direct injection (GDI) enables downsizing with its increased power and lower fuel consumption, it also results in higher particulate emissions. These are regulated by particle number (PN) in Europe; the limit value for GDI PN emissions will be the same as for light-duty diesel cars in 2017 under Euro 6c. Johnson, T.,

The intended application is light-, medium-, and heavy-duty markets including hybrid architectures. In August 2016, DOE announced funding of up to $7 million further to support the initiative. With the 2016 start date, that gives the team three years to complete the R&D efforts in this area. Earlier post.)

The FEV data are combined with supplemental data to generate CO 2 cost curves for ten EU vehicle classes (diesel B, C, D, E, SUV, and LCV classes and gasoline B, C, D, and E classes). These individual class curves are then sales weighted to estimate fleet average compliance costs for a range of potential CO 2 standards.
