This summary covers representative developments from 2008 in diesel regulations, engine technology, and NOx, particulate matter (PM), and hydrocarbon (HC) control.Europe is finalizing the Euro VI heavy-duty (HD) regulations for 2013 with the intent of technologically harmonizing with the US. A new particle number standard will be adopted. California is considering tightening the light-duty fleet average to US Tier 2 Bin 2 levels, and CO2 mandates are emerging in Europe for LD, and in the US for all vehicles.LD engine technology is focused on downsizing to deliver lower CO2 emissions, enabled by advances in boost and EGR (exhaust gas recirculation). Emerging concepts are shown for attaining Bin 2 emission levels. HD engines will make deNOx systems optional for even the tightest NOx standards, but deNOx systems enable much lower fuel consumption levels and will likely be used.NOx control is centered on SCR (selective catalytic reduction) for diverse applications. Focus is on cold operation, system optimization, and catalyst durability. LNT (lean NOx trap) performance is advancing and precious metal cost content is decreasing. Desulfation is enhanced, and new compositions are emerging based on alumina and ceria. LNCs (lean NOx catalysts or HC-SCR) developments are updated.Diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology is in a state of optimization and cost reduction. New DPF regeneration strategies are described as well as the new learnings on the fundamentals of soot/catalyst interaction and the impact of DPF pore structure.Finally an update on diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) is provided showing potential solutions for advanced combustion strategies.
