New technology for a new challenge

Umicore is again at the forefront of efforts to make air cleaner. A particulate treatment for gasoline engines will help carmakers meet upcoming tougher environmental standards. Our Automotive Catalyst R&D Centre in Hanau found solutions as a result from close collaboration with suppliers of filter substrates and developers of engine management systems. The combination of Umicore’s prototype technology with the Swiss research institute EMPA’s enhanced particle analysis facility resulted in strong benefits.
