Der Einfluss des Dieselmotors auf die Luftqualität = Influence of Diesel Engines on the Air Quality

In a range of applications the diesel engine is indispensable. Concerning of its emissions, the diesel engine is critically discussed in public. With new aftertreatment technologies the emissions could be significantly reduced. Also, stronger emissions standards with more realistic tests will in future reduce the emissions on the road. Looking at the modern diesel technology a lot of emissions like the unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and sulphur oxide are no longer relevant. In the future, with the exhaust after treatment nitrogen oxides and particle emissions could be reduced significantly. ... mehrA view at the air quality development in Germany shows a strong reduction of these emissions in the last years. Predictions demonstrate further decrease of immissions.
