NOTE: This table complements Table 5.5. Compared to Table 5.5, the columns reflecting November 2007 PGM prices (Columns 2 and 4) have been removed and a new column, Column 4, was added. This column reflects the aftertreatment system cost estimate for the exhaust flow rates of a larger base-level V6 CI engine (i.e., 4.4 L) suitable for replacing 5.5- to 6.2-L two-valve OHV V8 SI engines with 3.5-L advanced-level technology CI engines. Note that, as discussed in Chapter 5, it was assumed that the aftertreatment component sizes for the 3.5-L advanced-level V6 are equal to those of a base-level 4.4-L V6 because the power levels for these two engines would be the same, thus requiring the same exhaust flow rates. All cost estimates are based on April 2009 PGM commodity prices. Column 4 provides the estimate used for the aftertreatment costs in Table G.1.
