... These advanced diesel costs were derived from NHTSA's OTHER COSTS ESTIMATES estimates for meeting Tier 2 Bin 2 emission standards. As shown in Table 3.4, the Tier 3 emissions standards, which The committee reviewed other sources of cost estimates were enacted after the final CAFE rule was issued, have for diesel emission reduction technologies and compared essentially the same NMOG + NOx emission requirements them with the cost estimates developed in this report.

The benefits, the committee estimated that CLCC could provide engine air-fuel ratio was periodically set to run rich, so that up to 2.5 percent reduction in fuel consumption at a 2025 cost the NOx in the adsorption layer would react with hydrogen of $58 to $87.

Similarly, Diesel engines are heavier than gasoline engines because variable exhaust valve timing may be applied to provide they are designed to withstand significantly higher peak com higher expansion ratios, particularly for the lighter load bustion pressures than gasoline engines. In the past, diesel conditions of the dominant CAFE test cycles.
