Gasoline direct injection (GDI) is a strategy to improve fuel efficiency that is rapidly gaining market acceptance. Nevertheless, emission mandates are coaxing OEMs to employ fuel-efficient technologies such as gasoline direct injection, which in turn will drive the need for complementary after-treatment systems like GPFs.
