2016, Downsizing, Gasoline and Pollution

Study finds catalyzed gasoline particulate filters effective at reducing particulate and PAH emissions from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 22, 2018

The researchers assessed the gaseous, particulate, and genotoxic pollutants from two current technology gasoline direct injection vehicles when tested in their original configuration and with a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter (GPF). In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars. —Yang et al.

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. Generally, installing a gasoline particulate filter with a. …. A significant fraction of the GDI PM 2.5 —Zimmerman.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. It is much more than that. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
