Daimler Trucks NA SuperTruck achieves 115% freight efficiency improvement over 2009 baseline; 50.2% engine BTE

Green Car Congress

These tests resulted in the combined 115% freight efficiency improvement over a 2009 baseline truck. The Freightliner SuperTruck features a low-back-pressure, next-generation aftertreatment system that efficiently removes NO x from the exhaust stream. This reduces friction, and increases efficiency and fuel economy.

U Toronto study measures GDI emissions in urban near-road environment

Green Car Congress

In four campaigns over the year-long study, the team from the University of Toronto measured emissions 15 meters from the roadway, then converted the measurements to fuel-based emission factors (EFs). Market share of GDI vehicles is increasing rapidly; between model years 2009 and 2014 there was a 10-fold increase in GDI engine sales.

GM Developing New Concept for Emission Control for Lean-burn SIDI Engines: Passive Ammonia SCR

Green Car Congress

a high air-to-fuel ratio) SIDI (e.g., gasoline) engines, with a higher charge mass and higher temperature spread, can deliver improved thermal efficiency and better fuel economy. During subsequent lean operations, the NO x that breaks through the TWC converters is converted by the NH 3 stored on the SCR catalysts.
