Abstract
Further restrictions of automotive diesel emissions are planned for European Economic Community countries at the end of 1992 and in North America for 1994. The effect of changes in emission legislation on engine development is reviewed. This paper also examines these standards and the technologies that are being applied to light duty automotive diesel engines. Combustion systems, fuel injection equipment, exhaust gas recirculation and oxidation catalysts are areas where development is reaping benefits in reducing diesel emissions.Keywords
