RDE8™ is an engine control strategy that reduces NOx emissions
- NOx emissions are reduced significantly during
– Real world driving
– Emission certification tests - Affordable, no hardware modifications are required for many engine types
- Can be retrofitted to reduce the costs of expensive recalls
- Reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is possible as well
- Increases engine performance
- Easy and quick calibration process
- Applicable for all types of internal combustion engines, including diesel, petrol, LPG, CNG, etc.
- Suitable for any powertrain configuration such as hybrid, manual or automatic transmission
Non-compliant engine control software can cost vehicle manufacturers billions of dollars. Until recently, the main penalties could come from regulators such as EPA or CARB, cost for the recalls and the image loss. However, recently that has changed with many class actions. Dieselgate is probably the worst example of the risks involved in engine control software development and optimisation.
New regulations to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and NOx emissions at the same time create a conflict of objectives that is difficult to solve for many development team. To make things worse there are further growing market pressures like the increasing number of vehicle variants and configurations, varying fuel standards and -qualities across many markets, increasing powertrain complexity and the drive to reduce the development times and –cost. In light of these sprawling challenges, the chances are high that mistakes are made, without intention, perhaps just as a result of insufficient development resources.
To eliminate such risks we’ve developed RDE8™ that reduces NOx emissions during real driving through novel engine control algorithms that are easy to adopt without the need for extensive calibration optimisations for each different engine.
