The non-profit BPC was founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell to be an organization focused on driving principled solutions through analysis, negotiation and dialogue. This keeps the catalytic converter operating at the right air/fuel conditions.

Even a highly efficient combustion engine converts only about one-third of the energy in the fuel into traction actually propelling the car. The remaining two-thirds are lost as waste heat going into the environment through the car’s exhaust emissions and through the radiator.

Volkswagen engineers redesigned a large number of the base engine components to improve acoustics, fuel consumption, and exhaust gas emissions. Broadly, there have been two catalytic approaches used to reduce exhaust NO x : urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and lean NO x trap (LNT) catalysts. Earlier post.)

And when operating in EV mode at speeds up to 30mph, it uses no fuel and produces zero exhaust emissions. Adopting the Atkinson cycle and a new, cooled exhaust gas recirculation system brings significant gains in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. As a result the exhaust temperature is lower than that of conventional engines.
