A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. Methods to reduce RDEs from gasoline engine vehicles at full load in enriched combustion or cold starting (which generate much particulate matter) with less expensive after-treatment devices should be explored.
