Durability of low-cost catalysts for methanol-fueled vehicles. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5329908
; ;
This report describes the durability of low cost catalytic converters operated on methanol-fueled vehicles in fleet service. The catalysts were first tested at EPA for efficiency at zero miles and then aged 12,000-14,000 mile in Los Angeles, California as part of a California Energy Commission sponsored program in cooperation with Ford, Toyota, and EPA. The report also compares Federal Test Procedure and Highway Test results at the 12,000- and 14,000-mile point with the zero-mileage results.
