Clean Suzukis
The three-cylinder Suzuki GX sub-mini cars which are expected to arrive in New Zealand next year will be fitted with the latest pollution equipment, designed to meet 1975 and 1976 United States pollution standards, the agents report. The Suzuki system involves the use of a reburning chamber near the exhaust port of the twostroke engines, with the aim of ensuring that the fuel is burned completely. The result is said to be that carbon monoxide emissions are cut to 7.5 per cent of the normal level, and that hydrocarbons are also much reduced. Twostroke engines are low in nitrogen oxide emissions
anyway, but the system is said to cut these emissions by half as well. The agents for the 360 c.c. cars say that they expect the demand in New Zealand to be increased considerably by the concern about fuel supplies.
