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. —Yang et al.

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. A significant fraction of the GDI PM 2.5 —Zimmerman. Naomi Zimmerman, Jonathan M. Wang, Cheol-Heon Jeong, James S. 6b01800.

In August 2016, DOE announced funding of up to $7 million further to support the initiative. Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. High dilution may also lead to controllability challenges.
