- Enhanced production capabilities
at new 30,000-square-meter facility - Advanced technologies help customers meet
higher governmental emissions control standards
BASF is investing in a new production facility
for mobile emissions catalysts
at its Pudong site in Shanghai, China.
The new 30,000-square-meter facility
will house multiple manufacturing lines,
providing a full range of emissions control technologies
for heavy-duty and light-duty vehicle manufacturers.
Construction is underway,
with start-up planned for the end of 2019.
BASF’s FWC™ (Four-Way Conversion) catalyst
can remove Particulate Matter (PM),
as well as CO (Carbon Monoxide),
HC (Hydrocarbons) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides)
from gasoline-engine exhaust in a single component.
The plant will manufacture
innovative catalysts for gasoline and diesel vehicles
in the growing Chinese market.
The catalysts will help automotive customers
meet more stringent emission control requirements
ahead of China Stage 6 implementation in 2020.
