Faurecia, one of the world's leading automotive technology companies, announced today that it has acquired the intellectual property assets of uMist Ltd., a Swedish startup specialized in biomimetic spray technology, to accelerate its technology leadership for commercial vehicles ultra-low emissions.
Faurecia has developed an aftertreatment solution called the 'Heated Doser' which reduces NOx emissions and enables reduced fuel consumption for commercial vehicles using diesel Internal Combustion Engines. Through its ability to operate effectively at low temperatures, this technology enables compliance with the next wave of regulations (EPA2027, EuroVII) cutting NOx emissions by 90% in the most CO2 efficient way. The uMist technology will enable Faurecia to maximize the performance of the Heated Doser, by generating a high-pressure and high-temperature mist composed of extremely small droplets which optimizes NOx reduction for diesel Internal Combustion Engines.
Citation
The entire commercial vehicle and industrial exhaust aftertreatment markets are set to represent 2.4 billion euros by 2030 and Faurecia intends to lead these. The acquisition of this patents portfolio from uMist Ltd. enable us to accelerate our willingness to accompany OEMs in meeting stringent future emissions regulations for Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). As our hydrogen technology develops and matures for zero-emission commercial vehicles, these solutions will coexist with diesel ICEs.
