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

Green Car Congress

IAV has developed a particularly closed-coupled diesel exhaust gas aftertreatment (EAT) system. A key contribution to this performance must come from the exhaust gas aftertreatment system—across the entire speed and load range. This way, exhaust gas flows through DOC and SCRF before it enters the turbine.

Porsche simulates hydrogen V8 for virtual Nordschleife run; 440 kW, 261 km/h, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

In a recent simulation study reported in Porsche Engineering Magazine , Porsche Engineering examined the potential of hydrogen combustion engines. We have therefore developed a hydrogen combustion engine that aims to match the power and torque of current high-performance gasoline engines as a concept study. Source: Porsche.

EPFL team develops on-board system to capture CO2 from trucks; reducing emissions by 90%

Green Car Congress

Researchers at EPFL have patented a new concept that could cut trucks’ CO 2 emissions by almost 90%. The EPFL system captures CO 2 directly in the trucks’ exhaust system and liquefies it in a box on the vehicle’s roof. The patented concept is the subject of an open-access paper published in Frontiers in Energy Research.

Researchers propose low-temperature SOFC unit for reducing NOx and oxidizing HCs in lean-burn engine exhaust

Green Car Congress

Concept of the SOFC emissions control system. Their SOFC system can be operated without consuming the anode fuel (a reductant) at temperatures near that of the engine exhaust to eliminate the need for reductant refilling and extra heating. Therefore, an alternative SOFC operation at the exhaust temperature and open circuit is sought.
