million project to find new catalytic materials that work at lower exhaust temperatures, allowing automakers to build vehicles that operate more efficiently while retaining the ability to clean emissions before they leave the tailpipe. Catalytic converters clean vehicle exhaust into nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide.

When fuel is injected under these conditions, ignition takes places before an adequate air-fuel mixture forms, causing localized heterogeneous combustion, resulting in the formation of NO x and soot, Mazda says. Consequently, ignition takes longer even when fuel is injected near TDC, enabling a better mixture of air and fuel.
