SCRwhich would be one of the elements to save fuel ... the problem is that you have to buy the Adblue additive!
Too bad there is not more information in this article (hourly average, traffic conditions and weather ...) to see if this record comes close or far to "normal" conditions of use (be it a minimum "reproducible" by everyone).
Note that if the intake air of a diesel would pass
around the exhaust pipe(For
Supprimer particles) NOX could be removed or reduced by doping with water ...
Also a shame that the Quanthomme link is not better documented, we do not understand what he did / modified exactly and there are not enough details on his results.
For the "removal" of the particles which would be linked to the heating of the diesel intake air, ooouuuuaip the trouble is that this heating of the intake air also promotes the production of NOx .... and for obtain the best compromise between these 2 pollutants, hello the instrumentation to be implemented among others.
