BM Catalysts calls for unified<br />
industry effort to reduce<br />
emissions on Clean Air Day<br />
BM Catalysts, Europe’s leading manufacturer of aftermarket hot end<br />
emissions products, calls on the automotive aftermarket to unite in<br />
the fight against harmful emissions on Clean Air Day.<br />
Highlighting its commitment<br />
to air quality, BM Catalysts is<br />
emphasising the importance of<br />
high-quality emissions control devices and<br />
the adoption of the latest technologies<br />
designed to reduce vehicle emissions.<br />
BM Catalysts has recently expanded<br />
its product range with the introduction<br />
of Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPFs) and<br />
the enhancement of its Selective Catalyst<br />
Reduction (SCR) range.<br />
<strong>The</strong> GPF range currently includes six<br />
part numbers covering over 2.3 million<br />
vehicles, while the SCR range now offers<br />
12 references, covering 172 different<br />
vehicle fitments.<br />
GPFs are designed to reduce particulate<br />
emissions from gasoline direct injection<br />
(GDI) engines, ensuring compliance<br />
with particulate number (PN) emissions<br />
standards under real driving conditions.<br />
As the automotive industry shifts<br />
towards more fuel-efficient GDI engines,<br />
GPFs play a crucial role in filtering out<br />
particulate matter and reducing overall<br />
emissions.<br />
Mark Blinston, BM Catalysts’<br />
Commercial Director, said: “Our product<br />
development team is constantly assessing<br />
the market to ensure customers have<br />
access to the latest emissions control<br />
technologies. It’s crucial that we’re<br />
working together towards global initiatives<br />
to ensure a cleaner future.”<br />
SCR technology on the other hand, is<br />
essential for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx)<br />
emissions in diesel engines and works with<br />
diesel exhaust fluids like AdBlue to achieve<br />
NOx reduction of up to 90%.<br />
<strong>The</strong> increasing prevalence of SCRs<br />
in Euro 6 vehicles highlights the need<br />
for the aftermarket to support these<br />
technologies.<br />
Blinston added: “It’s imperative that<br />
the automotive aftermarket comes<br />
together and plays its part to ensure<br />
that the emissions control devices being<br />
supplied and fitted are legal. BM Catalysts<br />
is working with distributors and workshops<br />
to ensure the industry is better informed<br />
over new technologies and type approval<br />
legislation, and the important role they<br />
can play in its enforcement.<br />
We’ve invested considerable resource<br />
into developing our e-learning platform,<br />
BM <strong>Garage</strong> Pro, for example to help<br />
support this.”<br />
