The diesel engine is due to its efficiency, robustness and various applicability currently the most efficient drive train. The increasing public environmental and health awareness causes the legislator to continually tighten the emission legislation. This also causes a nationwide introduction of exhaust aftertreatment technologies for combustion engines.

In order to keep the attractiveness of the combustion engine in future, its efficiency and environmental sustainability have to be further increased. Therefore existing technologies have to be enhanced and new solutions for the exhaust aftertreatment of alternative fuels and electrified drive trains must be found.

As research association for diesel emission control technologies the FAD e.V. will take on this challenge.
