Summary

In the coming years, new emission standards for passenger cars and commercial vehicles will be introduced worldwide. The primary focus is on ensuring that future emission limits are met under all statistically relevant driving conditions.

Different vehicle classes require different technologies, including passenger cars, vans, and commercial vehicles. In particular Heavy Duty engines, with their wide range of applications, pose a unique challenge and require innovations in future exhaust aftertreatment. In addition to optimizing conventional catalyst substrates, there is significant importance placed on active solutions that can be used as add-ons. Specifically, newly developed electrically heated diesel (EHD) catalyst substrates for both passenger cars and trucks, in combination with existing exhaust systems or newly developed catalyst substrates, will be deployed.
