A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. This could be paired with combustion technologies with highly diluted combustion (stoichiometric with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) as well as lean burn with excess-air ratios above 2). Gas exchange.

Using statistical methods, the scientists infer emissions from these data within a radius of about one kilometer of the measurement location. Generally, different combustion and exhaust treatment characteristics result in significantly higher NO x /CO 2 emission ratios for diesel powered cars than for gasoline.
