The global automotive industry has to increasingly meet the challenges of regulations and standards set by governments regarding emission of exhaust gases such as CO2, NOx, and particulate matter from internal combustion (IC) engines. Europe is the leading country to set the standard for emission regulation. Every Euro norm is more stringent and an improvement over the earlier, aiming to reduce harmful emissions and improving the efficiency of the engine. To achieve the demanding limits of emission rules, car manufacturers are increasingly relying on gasoline particulate filter (GPF) as one of the potential emission control devices. GPF is primarily used in the aftertreatment of GDI-equipped cars to limit the number of particles emitted as shorter air-fuel mixing time in GDI leads to 5 to 10 times higher particle emission than a similar sized port fuel injection (PFI) engine.
