Ford Blue to axe 8,000 salary jobs

[jpd80]

Not so long ago, Bosch came out with a new diesel management system that basically increased temperature
in diesel exhaust that ensured super low emissions.

Unsurprisingly, the new system cannot be retrofitted to existing diesels but the same equipment is used to
get the desired output….perhaps Ford and others have one more card to play with diesels in Europe and ROW
markets where politicians have all but consigned diesel to perhaps a unnecessarily premature grave…..

Newly developed methods to ensure the exhaust-gas temperature at the catalytic converter stays above 200 degrees resulted in extremely low emissions by the test vehicle.

Bosch’s experimental test vehicle’s nitrogen-oxide emissions averaged 13 mg per kilometer. That is approximately only one-tenth of the maximum limit that will apply in Europe after 2020.
