Technology Trend for Low Emission Key is to maximize the catalyst performance. Minute air fuel ratio (A/F) control - Intelligent A/F management (high performance ECU etc.) - improving atomization of injected fuel (multi hole injector etc.) - Feedback systems (A/F sensor, 2O2 sensors system etc.) Quick warm-up of catalyst - Small size warm-up catalyst - Insulated exhaust manifold - Sophisticated engine control (Ignition timing, A/F control etc.) 3. Improving catalyst performance itself - High cell density catalyst - High loading of precious metals

Conclusions Quality fuels are necessary to achieve lower emission. Key properties for gasoline Sulfur, Metal Free, Distillation Properties, Detergency Key properties for diesel fuel Sulfur, Metal Free, Lubricity, Impurities, Cetane, T90 For bio fuels, adequate specification and quality control in the market is necessary. Fuel monitoring system and good house keeping are also important to keep the quality at the pump. WWFC 4th edition is coming soon. JAMA strongly recommends WWFC.
