OpenECU provides a bridge between the advanced technologies that the EPA is developing for greener vehicles and the vehicle companies, along with their suppliers, that ultimately need a production ECU to bring that technology to the market. The G850 is particularly suited to multi-cylinder (up to 8) gasoline engine management applications.

The extracted rock can be used directly as a power plant resource or it can be processed to produce shale oil, which in turn can be refined into gasoline, diesel or jet fuels. The research concentrates on two aspects: maximizing the production of liquid fuel and reducing the carbon intensity of oil shale-based power and heat generation.

Consequently, vehicle emissions have become an increasingly conspicuous contributor to air pollution in Chinese urban areas. Fourteen percent buses used gasoline, were equipped with carburetors, and had no any end-of-pipe emission control devices. Light-duty gasoline vehicles were the major contributors to CO and VOC emissions.
