China -- Rare-Earth Oxide Catalysts Program

• Results
• REO catalyst developed by Ford and China applied
  to new vehicles with EFI can meet ECE 83.01
• REO catalyst is effectively used to retrofit
  in-use vehicles to reduce automotive emissions by
  50, as demonstrated by fleet study in Kunming
  City
• REO catalyst effectively reduce cost emission
  control system
• REO catalyst has potential to be applied to
  diesel engine vehicles
