Study finds engines emit exhaust nanoparticles even when not fueled during engine braking

Green Car Congress

Exhaust particle size distributions measured by ELPI (color map) and particle concentration measured by CPC (white line) during individual engine braking conditions (speed change from 32 km/h to 0 km/h). The exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold. The exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold.

MAN Engines showcasing D3876 diesel engine for EU Stage V locomotives without exhaust after-treatment systems

Green Car Congress

One of its outstanding features is the in-line six, which meets the EU Stage V emission standard for locomotives without the need for an exhaust after-treatment system (EATS). This means that a single technical solution equally covers emission requirements for all currently recognised emissions threshold values up to EU Stage V.
