Audi’s new 3.0L diesel; ready for 48V mild hybrid system

Green Car Congress

The latest analyses of A7 and A8 automobiles of model years 2010 through 2013 with V6 and V8 engines certified according to the EU5 emission standard have revealed that in certain situations, NO x emissions are between 20 and 100 percent above the limit. The cylinder heads have two-part water jackets for needs-based cooling.

ARB researchers evaluate in-use heavy-duty NOx aftertreatment systems, find elevated levels during certain lower-temperature operations

Green Car Congress

One of the trucks was equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR); three were equipped with EGR and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device. EGR reduces NO x formation by introducing cooled exhaust gases into the combustion chamber. EGR reduces NO x formation by introducing cooled exhaust gases into the combustion chamber.

BASF’s new four-way conversion catalyst: TWC plus particulate filter

Green Car Congress

BASF researchers have further developed the three-way conversion catalyst and optimized its cleaning effect. The new four-way conversion catalyst, FWC, is a technology for vehicles with gasoline engines. The catalyst removes the gaseous pollutants and now also solids such as particulates from the exhaust gas flow.
