Over the last decade, Faurecia Clean Mobility has contributed to the reduction of pollutant emissions by supplying carmakers with forward-looking solutions in emission control for both diesel and gasoline engines. Faurecia Clean Mobility has strengthened its position as a leader in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to curb nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. Its innovative close-coupled SCR BlueBox® compact mixer technology is now a part of the exhaust system for various applications. The technology eliminates up to 95% of engine NOx emissions, ensuring compatibility with Euro 6c standards for 2017 and Euro 6d requirements for 2020. As part of its range of cutting-edge NOx reduction technologies, Faurecia Clean Mobility marketed a new Ammonia Storage and Delivery System (ASDS™) developed by its subsidiary Amminex, which stores ammonia as a solid and releases it into the exhaust stream as a gas. The technology has proven to be highly effective in reducing NOx emissions from diesel-powered city buses by up to 99%. Faurecia has already adapted the technology in private cars and vans and is now exploring other ASDS™ applications for agricultural and earthmoving machinery as well as the high-horsepower engines used in motorboats and marine propulsion.
