In 2013, the Cummins-led team demonstrated a Tier 2 Bin 5 version of the engine on the dyno, and then on a vehicle, while development of the Tier 2 Bin 2 engine started. The HC/NO x release temperature in a cold start catalyst is high enough that the released HC/NO x can be further converted by the downstream catalytic components.

converted all vehicle efficiency measurements into vehicle energy efficiency (VEE, km/MJ) based on fuel energy densities reported in each study. This is because the ethanol component may affect the conversion efficiency of the gasoline component in a blend, that is, make an engine more or less efficient in its use of the gasoline component.

Only the shoebox unit—consisting of transverse shell-and-tube design in which banks of parallel, vertical catalyst tubes extended through a transverse stack of exhaust-side heat-exchange plates—exhibited sustained high conversion with low and stable fuel-side pressure throughout a 500 h test period. —Sall et al.

The fundamental challenge is to convert as much of the chemical energy in the fuel, into mechanical energy, as efficiently as possible at the prescribed flow rate. Conversion efficiency is now the key. liter, normally-aspirated V8 engine used from 2006 to 2013 is replaced by a turbo 1.6-liter The F1 W05. Click to enlarge.
