Objective
Diesel engines are widely used for on-road (trucks, vans) and non-road applications (agricultural tractors, compressors, off-road trucks, forklift trucks, etc.). Despite a number of advantages diesel engines have a detrimental environmental downside: relatively high NO, and particulate matter (soot) emissions, which prompted stringent vehicle emissions regulation, in Europe as well as in Japan and the USA. Driven by large volumes, current technologies are mainly developed for on-road applications.
Indeed, for certain non-road applications they might be technically not feasible or very expensive to use, and novel technologies are required to ensure that these diesel non-road mobile machinery are able to comply to environmental legislation. Without exception, the currently available catalyst converters make use of precious (expensive) metals like Pt,Pd and Rh.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
