IAV develops new close-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment system for improved emissions reduction

Green Car Congress

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. Future diesel powertrains will need to be capable of meeting limit values that are even tighter than EU6. In modern charged engines, however, exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) competes with the turbocharger for heat in the exhaust gas flow.
