Industrial shift toward selective catalytic reduction technology
Stringent regulations across the world aiming at emission control have been propelling developments in exhaust gas systems. This has led to increased adoption of exhaust gas recirculation sensors. The market is experiencing a shift toward selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology as it improves fuel efficiency by controlling NOx emissions in the tailpipe. SCR systems use a reducing agent that is injected into the exhaust gases before it moves through the SCR catalytic converter. At this stage, nitrous oxides are converted into non-toxic nitrogen gas and water vapor.
The SCR technology has been already introduced in the exhaust systems of passenger cars by OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen. Additionally, the technology is gaining traction in the commercial vehicles segment, with the implementation of Euro VI and BS VI norms. With the rollout of BS VI norms by 2019-2020 in India, the SCR technology is expected to be available in 50% of the heavy commercial vehicles by 2020-2021.
Development of high-flow automotive catalytic converter
A high-flow catalytic converter is an advanced vehicle exhaust treatment system, which limits the flow of emissions at a much faster pace than conventional automotive catalytic converters. It also increases the vehicle's performance without increasing the level of emissions. This catalytic converter is made of stainless steel outer shell that increases its durability and allows it to function in harsh climates.
According to Ganesh Subramanian, a lead analyst at Technavio for automotive components, “A high-flow catalytic converter has lesser obstacles for the exhaust gas to move to the exhaust tips. Therefore, it improves the performance of the vehicle by reducing the build-up of exhaust gas backpressure. This system assists the vehicle to achieve more power at higher rotations per minute and more torque at lower rotations per minute.”
Increasing battery-powered electric vehicles
The automotive market has been experiencing a shift toward battery-powered electric vehicles (BEV), primarily in the Americas, China, and European countries due to the increasing environmental concerns, frequent increase in fuel prices, and other factors such as the cost of purchasing and maintaining internal combustion vehicles. These factors propel the growth of BEVs and increase their sales.
“Governments across the world are also playing an important role in this shift toward battery-powered electric vehicles. To reduce carbon emissions and dependence on oil, worldwide governments of many countries have started implementing various programs. They are funding manufacturers to set up new factories, as well as customers to purchase electric vehicles,” says Ganesh.
