Go green with PremAir and reduce the total cost of compliance with emissions credits for your fleet. 

The US Environmental Protection Agency Tier 3 and California Air Resources Board LEVIII regulations call for a 70 percent reduction of fleet average emissions by 2025. PremAir is a direct ozone reduction technology that qualifies for a 5mg/mi credit, which can be used against individual vehicle certification or fleet averages. BASF has shown through dynameter testing on a SUV that the credit allows automakers to reduce precious metal content in the three-way catalytic converter, thus reducing the total cost of compliance. Savings equal approximately $100 per vehicle. 

Given the right vehicle data, BASF can assist automakers in determining if PremAir is a good tool for a specific powertrain and estimate potential PGM savings.
