POSTECH, Hyundai team develops new more thermally robust catalyst for NOx reduction with diesel engines

Green Car Congress

NO x is extremely difficult to reduce under an oxygen-rich environment. Improvement of the thermal durability of the SCR catalysts would therefore be the key to maximizing the fuel efficiency, as well as to producing clean emissions from diesel engines.

UK launches accreditation scheme for clean vehicle retrofit technologies

Green Car Congress

CVRAS provides a single validation standard for any emission technology to meet the standards set out in the government’s Clean Air Zone Framework for England. Data from the three tailpipe emissions tests will be averaged to yield a mean result. The scheme will also provide the backbone of future retrofit funding.
