and they differ from prior approvals in that
three devices have been introduced:

system which allows to complete the
combustion of some unburned fuels
remaining from the thermodynamic cycle.

Its function is to reduce the harmful
substances present in the exhaust fumes,
specifically CO (carbon monoxide), the
HC (unburned fuel) and the Nox (nitrogen
oxide).
