dPollution has revealled
that its fuel-conditioning technology produced
significant emission reductions and fuel-economy
improvements in two laboratory tests held at Fiat's
Elasis research facility, using standardised U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission-testing
protocols.The
tests were conducted by Elasis, one of Fiat's two key
research arms. The research vehicle used for the tests
was a 2003 Fiat Scudo equipped with a 2-litre diesel
engine.
dPollution owns the
exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights to a
patented fuel-conditioning technology that reduces
polluting emissions and increases mileage. dPollution’s
innovative products improve engine performance by
causing fuel to combust more efficiently and completely.
The technology works on all closed-combustion engines,
including those used in cars, trucks, buses, trains and
heavy equipment.
One of the tests
followed the EPA’s Federal Test Procedure 75 (FTP-75),
which is designed to measure a vehicle’s tailpipe
emissions under urban driving conditions. The second
test followed the EPA’s Highway Fuel Economy Test (HFET),
which is designed to represent a mix of interstate
highway and rural driving. The EPA’s emission testing
protocols are carefully controlled methods that include
the use of standardized fuels, laboratories, testing
equipment, test cycles and calculations.
Compared to control
trials, the Fiat test vehicle with the dPollution Device
installed produced the following results:
EPA FTP-75
(urban driving conditions):
Total Hydrocarbon (THC)
emissions were reduced by 43.75%; Carbon Monoxide (CO)
emissions were reduced by 15.30%; Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
emissions were reduced by 11.09%; Particulate Matter
(PM) emissions were reduced by 73.91%; Fuel Economy
(MPG) was increased by 11.84%.
EPA HFET (mix
of highway and rural driving conditions):
Carbon Monoxide
(CO) emissions were reduced by 72.45%; Carbon Dioxide
(CO2) emissions were reduced by 15.28%; Nitrogen Oxide (NOX)
emissions were reduced by 12.50%; Fuel Economy (MPG) was
increased by 18.14%;
“These test results
further demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology
in combating emissions and high fuel prices,” said
dPollution's President and Chief Executive Officer Rocco
Di Fruscia. “We’re excited about the advances our
company is making and look forward to providing our
shareholders with more exciting news in the days and
weeks ahead.”
