Research program targets emissions
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 3/1/2004
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI; San Antonio, TX) has launched its fourth cooperative research program to reduce diesel engine emissions. Clean Diesel IV already has more than 30 members, including engine manufacturers and component suppliers; others are invited to join.
The primary objective of the consortium is to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to 0.2 g/hp-hr and particulates to 0.01 g/hp-hr. A secondary objective is to achieve US Tier 2/Bin 5 emission standards for light-duty trucks. www.swri.com
