摘要

The technology developed with Nissan Sentra CA had been improved further, and besides continuing the super ultra low emission vehicle performance of the Sentra CA, the system has been substantially reduced in size and cost. Not only does the vehicle comply with the Japan U-LEV level it reduces exhaust emissions by another 50% beyond the specified values. Moreover, these components are also used to achieve fuel economy improvement through innovative control of the engine operating conditions.
