The extremely high costs of manufacturing catalytic converters for diesel trucks may be seeing a significant reduction if Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (CDTi) new coating material goes into ...
Modern diesel engines are more fuel efficient than gasoline engines. Cleaning up their exhaust is a bit more challenging, though, due to the large amount of oxygen involved in the combustion. In ...
Electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources are hitting the roads in greater numbers every year, but the transition away from gas guzzlers is going to take a while. In the meantime, ...
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio market research analysts forecast the global automotive diesel nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission control catalysts market to grow at a CAGR of over 5% during the period ...
Every little bit of efficiency a fleet can squeeze out of engines can go a long way in maintaining a healthy profit margin. Even for fleets that spec the latest in aero kits, low rolling resistant ...
Panasonic Corporation announced that it has developed an innovative catalyst that uses an alkali metal compound to decompose and particulate matter in diesel engine exhaust gas. The company has ...
Diesel engines are a classic example of good news and bad news. The good news is that diesel engines are much more fuel efficient than petrol engines. The bad news is that they belch out some pretty ...
A laboratory flow reactor test has been developed to examine hydrocarbon (HC) storage for diesel catalysts. Light-off testing alone has not been sufficient to rank diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) in ...
Strategic Materials at Reaction Temperatures (SMART) is an approach used to design washcoat systems for passive 4-way emission control catalysts. Light duty diesel vehicles need to meet the European ...
(Nanowerk News) Platinum is the most expensive component of the diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) that are required to meet the new, stringent emission regulations for the 14 million light-duty and 2 ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have discovered a new reaction mechanism that could be used to improve catalyst designs for pollution-control systems to further reduce emissions of smog-causing ...
The expensive platinum catalyst that cleans diesel-car exhaust fumes can be replaced with cheaper materials, chemists have discovered. The finding may lower the cost of fuel-efficient engines, ...
