Due to the importance of the pollution of cars, buses and tracks from Diesel engines, the “Centro Sviluppo Materiali” of Rome has studied a particular device for the electrostatic precipitation and the combustion of the particulate from exhaust gases (MEA). After the study and the construction of the device, many tests controlled by the Ministry of Transport both on engines of 2500 cc and 9600 cc have been undertaken.The reliability tests were carried out on a urban and extra-urban buses.The results of tests can be summarized as follows: As a consequence the Italian Ministry of Transport authorized the installation of the CSM device on the motor vehicles transporting both people ( up to 5 t, Sector M) and goods (up to 12 t, Sector N ).
