Bosch ,the biggest supplier of diesel-engine technology to global automakers from Volkswagen AG to General Motors Co. to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV has unveiled a major breakthrough in diesel technology that reduces and clean the nitrogen oxides emissions produced by these vehicles .

The technology will enable vehicle manufacturers to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) so drastically that they will comply with future limits, without the need for any additional technology.

Long term exposures to this emissions can decrease lung function, increase the risk of respiratory conditions and increases the response to allergens.

Legislations introduced in 2017 dictated that no new passenger car can emit more than 168 milligrams of NOx per kilometre.

This limit will be reduced to 120 milligrams by 2020, in a further push to remove dirty diesel cars from the road.

Bosch claims the new diesel technology can achieve as little as 13 milligrams of NOx in standard legally-compliant RDE cycles. 

Bosch says its technology uses a combination of advanced fuel injection to recirculate exhaust gases and intelligent temperature management, and it requires no additional new components.

Prosecutors are probing several car makers and supplier Bosch for their suspected roles in using an engine control unit, EDC17, to cheat exhaust emissions tests.



Volkswagen used the unit in its EA189 diesel engine, which was found in 2015 to artificially throttle back real-world pollution levels during a regulatory test cycle, triggering a global crackdown on carmakers and toxic pollutions.

The biggest downside to Bosch’s diesel emissions control system is that it will only work on new vehicles. Because of that, car owners won’t be able to retrofit diesels that are already on the road.

Cars equipped with the latest Bosch technology will be classed as low-emission vehicles and may slow electric car adoption. What do you think?

Nigeria can hieve a sigh of relieve.

Nice

Hmmm

Good one!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm:mmmmmmmm

Ok..
Them try

Not so true, this technology and and the legislative dictate will take effect in Nigeria not lesser than 20yrs.

I thought they said they have started building solar cars that could run without fuel and diesel thereby phasing out fuel- run cars? Which one be this again?

good i guess

Nice but not nice! The way to go in the not to far future is clean and zero pollution vehicle � like the electric vehicles!

Diesel engines,


Not my thing

It looks like all Diesel automakers belong to APC!

Party of lies

As usual, you no go too see comments as majority of 9ja pple (Youths in particular) are too ignorant and brainwashed to be interested in educative stuff like this..

I don't know if Bosch tested this technology with kpo fire diesel... It's only then that I'll give them a pass mark

When the going gets tough, the tough get innovative

Tesla has made electric cars and tested them, the future we all know is in cleaner energy but those big Oil companies are fighting back big time. Carbon runned cars would continue to be here for a very long time, you just cant wake up to kill the business of some big dudes, they will fight back...and this is just a way of doing that

Hmmmmm
A very bad news for my country

Fossil fuel still rules!

Cool

Hmmm!!
Wike com and hearoo
Una need am there we heard
