Abstract

Raising interest in Diesel powered passenger cars in the USA in combination with the government mandated policy to reduce dependency of foreign oil, leads to the desire of operating Diesel vehicles with biodiesel fuel blends. There is only limited information related to the impact of biodiesel fuels on the performance of advanced emission control systems. In this project the implementation of a NOx storage and an SCR emission control system and the development for optimal performance were evaluated by FEV.
