New Delphi Technologies 500+ bar GDi system cuts gasoline particulate emissions by up to 50%, reduces fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

Reducing the number of exhaust gas particulates, including those smaller than 23 nm, will help manufacturers meet increasingly stringent future global emissions standards. —Walter Piock, chief engineer, Gasoline Systems, Delphi Technologies. This reduces emissions in regulated testing including RDE (Real Driving Emissions).

ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

Other technologies—such as efficiency improvements in gasoline engines as well as the rollout of hybrid electric power trains—offer more compelling and cost-effective pathways to reducing CO 2 emissions from European passenger cars, the ICCT says. —The ICCT.

Study finds catalyzed gasoline particulate filters effective at reducing particulate and PAH emissions from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

The researchers assessed the gaseous, particulate, and genotoxic pollutants from two current technology gasoline direct injection vehicles when tested in their original configuration and with a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter (GPF). In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars. —Yang et al.

ICCT working paper highlights benefits of current and emerging light-duty diesel technology; “promising pathway for compliance”

Green Car Congress

The ICCT team—John German and Aaron Isenstadt—concluded that diesels have and will retain two significant advantages over gasoline engines: significantly better fuel economy and cargo hauling and towing ability. miles per gallon in model year 2016, and 49.1 mpg in model year 2025—equating to 54.5

Under California’s vehicle emissions ratings, PZEVs (Partial Zero Emission Vehicles) meet SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) tailpipe emission standards and also have zero evaporative emissions. The SULEV standard, established under the current LEV II regulation, is equivalent to the Federal Tier 2 Bin 2 standard.

Center for Automotive Research calls long-run economic risk to auto industry of mandating permanent fuel economy standards very serious; recommends periodic reviews

Green Car Congress

Plug-in hybrids dominate market penetration in 2025 under CAR scenario IV (62 mpg CAFE standard). Each of these nine pathways produced a specific fuel economy standard and cost estimate measured at retail price equivalence. The results for each fuel economy scenario are: Scenario I: (47 mpg CAFE standard, 37.6 Source: CAR.
