New Continental AdBlue® Urea Dosing System

September 1, 2017 is looming large on the horizon. From this date, exhaust-gas measurements during the type approval of new cars will also be taken under real driving conditions. Since, for nitrogen-oxide emissions from diesel engines in particular, significant differences have emerged between laboratory values and real driving emissions (RDE), exhaust-gas tests on diesel vehicles are increasingly being run under real driving conditions.

Continental starts production of high-performance injector to boost gasoline engine efficiency

Compliance with future emissions standards such as Euro 6b (from 9/2014) and Euro 6c (from 9/2017) will call for further improvements in engine combustion processes. As gasoline engines offer significant scope for reducing emissions through more efficient combustion, downsizing and turbocharging, they will play a significant part in realizing these improvements.
