Abstract

Vehicles powered by diesel engines with direct injection have now become advantageous because they contribute to a clear reduction of the fuel consumption and the CO2 emission. In order to comply with the future legal limits Euro 4 and Euro 5, further developments for the reduction of NOx and particles are required. This work suggests a solution to the reduction of gaseous and particle emissions using fatty acid methyl ester. Due to the special complexity of the diesel engine, diverse operating parameters were varied to study their influence limits on the pollutant emissions.
