Motorcycle Catalysts and General Engine Catalysts

BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS) catalysts, leveraging advanced materials, innovative precious metal technologies, and novel architectural designs, can meet the most stringent emission standards while minimizing the precious metal content.

New engine technologies, tightening emission regulations, and fluctuating precious metals prices create emissions control challenges. Addressing the new requirement of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) in line with upcoming regulations, such as Euro 5.2, BS 6-2b, and China 5, ECMS offers cost-effective comprehensive solutions through its advanced catalyst technology, exclusive engine lab services, and exhaust system design expertise for motorcycle exhaust systems, including:

  • Developing technology that meets both emission standards and is detectable by OBD.
  • Creating calibration threshold samples to trigger OBD alarms.
  • Designing exhaust systems with single-, double-, or triple-catalysts.
