- In spite of extensive fuel economy benefits, GDI engines have been identified as a major source of ultra-fine particulate matter. This work, which produced one of the first ever functional models of engine-out Particulate Number, has led to an objective improvement of the fragmented understanding of particulate matter formation mechanisms under stoichiometric, theoretically-homogeneous, GDI engine operation. Significance and potential impact of this line of work have been recognised by Ford Motor Company, and led to strengthening the collaboration between Ford and OBU, and to the inclusion in the large £22M APC6 Dynamo R&D project (TSB Ref. 78938-506185).
