Regulators in Germany have opened an investigation into alleged diesel exhaust rule circumvention on the part of BMW. The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), Germany’s federal transport authority, has alleged that BMW X3 models equipped with the brand’s 2.0-liter But that seems like an oversimplification of the situation.

Several OEMs are working on combustion optimization and injection technologies that reduce particulate emissions in engines rather than through exhaust after-treatment. of total GPF installations by 2020.

We have introduced high‐efficiency diesel engines and diesel particulate filters that eliminate almost all particle emissions from the exhaust tailpipe. The very latest generation of diesel technology combines clean diesel fuel, advanced engines and effective emissions control mechanisms. —from the joint letter.

The three main NOx control technologies currently on the market are exhaust gas recirculation (EGR); lean-burn NO x traps (LNT); and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). EGR systems recirculate a portion of exhaust gas to the combustion chamber, lowering the combustion temperature and the production of engine-out NO x. km/h, or 81.50

Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. There are also smaller quantities of the valuable raw material within Europe. For example, BMW now buys cobalt directly from mines to avoid child exploitation by intermediaries.
