International automotive researchers emphasize the importance of continued development of the internal combustion engine

Green Car Congress

The authors assert that “zero emissions” BEVs will not replace IC engines in commercial transport to any significant degree because of the weight, size and cost of the batteries required. A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. Reitz et al.

GM RD Develops and Demonstrates Strontium-Doped Perovskite Catalysts Rivaling Platinum Catalysts for NOx Control in Diesel Exhaust; Lower Cost Could Be a Boost for Diesel

Green Car Congress

Commercial LNT (black dashed line); La 0.9 Because NO 2 constitutes less than 10% of NO x in the diesel engine-out exhaust, an oxidation catalyst is required to increase the NO 2 fraction. However, they suffer from issues such as high cost and poor thermal durability. NO x conversion profiles. Credit: Kim et al.
