Further efforts to reduce the air pollution from traffic are undertaken worldwide and the filtration of exhaust gas will also be increasingly applied on gasoline cars (GPF¹ … gasoline particle filter).

In the present paper, some results of investigations of nanoparticles from four MPI gasoline cars are represented. The measurements were performed at vehicle tailpipe and in CVS-tunnel. Moreover, two variants of GPF were investigated on a high-emitting modern vehicle, including analytics of PAH and attempts of soot loading in road application.

The modern MPI vehicles can emit a considerable amount of PN, which in some cases attains the level of Diesel exhaust gas without DPF and can pass over the actual European limit value for GDI (6.0 x 10¹¹ #/km). The GPF-technology offers in this respect further poten-tials to reduce the PN-emissions of traffic. With GPF, in the investigated steady state operation, there is no significant visible nuclei mode and the ultrafine particles concentrations below 10 nm size are insignificant.
