In the last few year, emissions have become a crucial point in automotive world, stricter emissions regulations push manufacturers to design ‘greener’ vehicles, developing new engines with higher and higher fuel efficiency and low emissions. Current technologies such as EGR, common rail and aftertreatment system for exhaust gases are valid solutions in the short period, but these restrictions are going to be even stricter in the next future, so new technologies and a much stronger integration between vehicles and the surrounding infrastructures are necessary. These are the purposes of IMPERIUM Project (IMplementation of Powertrain Control for Economic and Clean Real driving EmIssion and ConsUMption), an ambitious project supplied by some of the biggest heavy-duty manufacturers in Europe, among which FPT Industries.
