Swiss team concludes that particulate filters should be mandatory for GDI engines

Green Car Congress

Based on a three-year study of toxic and environmentally relevant pollutants from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, Swiss researchers have concluded that some GDI engines emit just as many soot particles as unfiltered diesel cars did in the past. Further, the GDI particles carry numerous carcinogenic substances. Click to enlarge.

NC State study finds non-FFV vehicles can adapt to mid-level ethanol blend

Green Car Congress

Each vehicle was measured on neat gasoline (E0); 10% ethanol by volume (E10) “regular” (E10R) and “premium” (E10P); and 27% ethanol by volume (E27). The modes were then weighted according to real-world standard driving cycles. Four real-world cycles were repeated for each vehicle with each fuel. — Yuan et al. Weichang Yuan, H.
