Because of strict new limits, for the first time technologies for exhaust-gas after-treatment on the Western model are also being required in the Middle Kingdom. From January 2012 China IV, a standard comparable with Euro 4, will apply to commercial vehicles.
In the car sector too, the limits will be brought into line with the Euro 4 for cars on a nationwide basis – starting in July 2011 with gasoline and natural gas and from July 2013 for diesel.
Eberspaecher subsidiary general manager Richard Hu noted : “Not only are we supporting our customers in the implementation of the future exhaust gas standards for environmentally compatible mobility in China, we can also adapt our solutions to specific market conditions on the spot.”
In addition to development and sales, Eberspaecher will produce muffler assemblies and catalytic converters for cars as well as complete exhaust systems for commercial vehicles on the site.
