A three-wheeler is a symbol of mobility at low cost for a common man in India. Due to high loading compared to its 2-wheeler counterpart, the 3-wheeler emit higher emissions and serious efforts are being made by the manufacturer to minimize the emissions. ARAI and Emitec have undertaken a Technology Demonstrator Project to investigate the application of metallic substrates and Emitubes for a typical carburetted 2-stroke 3-seater 3-wheeler with an aim to introduce a cost effective practically viable option of reducing exhaust emissions to meet INDIA 2000 emission norms. Now-a-days, there are 3-wheelers available which are offering lower emissions levels. It was the intention of the authors, not to use such a clean vehicle for a better demonstration of the efficiency of current catalyst technology. Here, a 3-wheeler manufactured in 1996 has been selected, for which a converter is designed employing a software developed by Emitec.
