IAV develops new close-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment system for improved emissions reduction

Green Car Congress

MAY 8, 2017

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. Under the EU6 standard, diesel engines are still allowed to emit up to 80 mg NO x /km milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer—not only under the legal framework in the cycle but also in respect of increasingly tighter RDE requirements.

But even today, vehicles equipped with Bosch diesel technology can achieve as little as 13 milligrams of NO x in standard legally-compliant RDE cycles. A dynamic driving style demands an equally dynamic recirculation of exhaust gases. To ensure optimum NO x conversion, the exhaust gases must be hotter than 200 degrees Celsius.

In 1975, General Ernesto Geisel, then-president of Brazil, ordered the country’s gasoline supply mixed with 10% ethanol. The level was raised to 25% over the next five years, which was intended to maintain a constant Brazilian gasoline supply for an ever-increasing demand. These were arguably the first flex-fuel vehicles.
