APPLICATION OF HEAVY-DUTY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ON MEDIUM AND HEAVY-DUTY GASOLINE POWERED TRUCKS

This paper discusses the use of an oxidation type catalytic converter for medium and heavy-duty gasoline powered trucks. It offers the highest reductions of HC and CO; and it is the simplest, most durable, and most cost effective system for reducing air pollution from trucks without fuel or driveability penalties. /GMRL/
