Comparative Analysis of Exhaust Emissions: A Review of BS4 and BS6 Bike Engine Technologies
Abstract
The pivot from Bharat Stage IV (BS4) to Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission metrics in India marks a pivotal step towards reducing vehicular pollution and improving air quality. This paper compares the exhaust system differences in BS4 and BS6 bike engines, focusing on emission control technologies, performance, and environmental impact. BS6 engines incorporate innovative fragments to illustrate selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel particulate filters (DPF), and three-way catalytic converters, leading to influential curtailments in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. However, these advancements have also resulted in marginal changes in power output and fuel efficiency due to enhanced emission control measures. Despite these challenges, BS6 metrics underscore a commitment to sustainable transportation by achieving substantial curtailments in harmful emissions, thereby mitigating environmental and health impacts. The findings highlight the balance between regulatory compliance, technological innovation, and environmental responsibility.
