Purem by Eberspaecher introduces efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines

Green Car Congress

Purem by Eberspaecher is introducing efficient exhaust technology for hydrogen engines. This is because even in hydrogen engines, exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxide and small amounts of particles and unburned hydrocarbons are produced from the engine oil pathway. These systems are now being adapted to the CO 2 -neutral fuel.
