Very heavy reading, could someone explain it in layman speak
My interpretation was something about using regenerated energy, to to heat the gasses in the exhaust system
Taking this one step forward, using regenerated energy of between 0.5 and 2 Kw
Could we use this to recharge our leisure batteries

Hi Tony
Hmm yes hard going ! But this is my take on it. If the existing pollution systems are managed for catalyst temperature there will be good outcomes for NOx that should satisfy the rules for the future. There is no new hardware required. However during warmup and shut down conditions there may be some post combustion injection required to maintain temperature. There will be minimal extra fuel use in urban use. There will really just be extra computer management required. That is what I think they are saying ???
So if I am correct there is nothing to charge your batteries there I suspect

You are correct Jahhn
I have just reread it again (slower)
They mention that it would be possible to heat the exhaust with regenerated 12 volt energy, they then go on to say that
The key disadvantage of electric heating compared to engine-related measures is the fact that the engine-out nitrogen oxide emissions cannot be reduced
So I must have added 2 x 2 and wishfully dreaming came up with 6¼ thinking that I had come up with something they had missed
Thanks for the second link, as it was not directly linkable

Mind you this is the company that designed the software to detect the test cycle and auto cheat for VW.

The link is not clickable. Here is a clickable one. Bosch claims a 'breakthrough' that could save diesel engines
Hi
If anybody is interested here is the research paper on that diesel research. Heavy reading
