Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. announced it is providing catalysts featuring CDTi's high-performance Mixed Phase Catalyst (MPC®) technology to Honda for its newly designed 2017 Accord Hybrid model. The model has been in production since the beginning of 2016 and is now being delivered to dealerships throughout North America. Hybrids and Plug-In Hybrids are a key part of car makers’ plan to increase fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions over the next decade. According to a new study from Juniper Research, nearly 17 million will be on the road by 2020, up from an estimated 12 million in 2015. The catalysts in hybrid and electric vehicles normally require high levels of precious metals to achieve higher performance due to the low temperature drive cycles encountered. CDTI’s MPC technology enables car manufacturers to meet the required high performance at lower platinum group metal (PGM) levels. To increase commercial traction in this key segment, CDTI is continuing to broaden its technology portfolio to support ongoing innovation.
