The report describes the durability of low cost catalytic converters operated on methanol-fueled vehicles in fleet service. The catalysts were first tested at EPA for efficiency at zero miles and then aged 12,000-14,000 mile in Los Angeles, California as part of a California Energy Commission sponsored program in cooperation with Ford, Toyota, and EPA. The report also compares Federal Test Procedure and Highway Test results at the 12,000 and 14,000 mile point with the zero-mileage results.
