Faurecia has worked with Amminex since 2009 and previously owned 42% of the company. At the recent Paris Motor Show, Faurecia showed the Amminex solution for commercial vehicles, as well as an ASDS system in a new format for passenger cars.
In increasing its participation to 91.5%, Faurecia expects to intensify the development of this technology for both commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Faurecia is also investigating other applications of ASDS, such as for off-road vehicles and high horsepower (HHP) engines used on ships and vessels.
The remaining shares are held by the Danish Foundation Nordea-fonden.
“ASDS is a breakthrough technology for improving air quality validated in real-driving conditions over millions of kilometres,” said Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies, EVP, Christophe Schmit.
