The Euro 6 standard requires an SCR system on diesel cars to reduce NOx emissions. AdBlue is injected into the catalyst to neutralise nitrogen oxides. SCR has been used on trucks since 2006 !
The combined DPF and catalytic converter offers an attractive alternative to standard emission control devices for modern cars. Easy to install, economical, more efficient, with enhanced safety for motorists.
Since 2016, particulate filters have been mandatory for petrol cars, known as GPF for Gasoline Particulate Filter. They are designed to reduce the pollution generated by petrol cars by up to 95%...
Euro emissions standards were introduced in 1993 to regulate vehicle pollution. Euro 7 is the next level, requiring stricter emission levels for nitrogen oxides and diesel particulates, as well as new standards for brake and tyre wear. Tests will be extended from 100,000 to 200,000 miles...
In 1985, Mercedes was the first manufacturer to install a diesel particulate filter on a production model to trap the fine carcinogenic particles emitted by internal combustion engines. However, at the end of 1987, the brand decided to stop introducing DPF. In the 1990s, PSA increased the number of tests to develop this technology and the first production model to benefit from it was the Peugeot 607, in 2000...
PSA Peugeot Citroën has developed a special system for regenerating the diesel particulate filters (DPF) on its vehicles. This system involves the use of an additive called cerin, which allows for more frequent and faster regeneration cycles.
The catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter are two equipment designed to reduce the pollution of thermal engines in cars. Although they have different roles, they are complementary and mandatory on all new cars with petrol or diesel engines...
Catalytic converter theft is becoming increasingly common, as the valuable materials used in their production, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, are highly sought after on the market. Anti-theft protection plates have become a popular solution for protecting against catalytic converter theft...
Nowadays, our cars have many devices to reduce the pollution emitted from the exhaust. This has been done through the adoption of the catalytic converter and then the diesel particulate filter or the AdBlue reserve...
First of all, let us briefly review the role of the catalytic converter. It is a component that is placed on the exhaust line and its purpose is to reduce the content of various pollutants in the exhaust gases...
