Having better control over the combustion process reduces the emission load on the exhaust aftertreatment systems. Eminox SCRT technology can significantly reduce harmful diesel exhaust gases, particularly in urban operating conditions. NO x emissions regulations are also likely to be further tightened. —Andy Dickinson.

While numerous fully variable valvetrain strategies are possible depending upon the application, other studies have highlighted the use of Early Intake Valve Closing (EIVC) as a favorable strategy at part load, the authors noted. The researchers also noted the significant global interest in alcohol fuels for SI engines. —Cairns et al.
