Global Catalytic Converter Market: Overview
A catalytic converter is an emission control device that reduces emissions caused due to combustion of fuel within automobiles. It assists in removing toxic compounds such as hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide from the exhaust system of vehicles. The converter enhances energy efficiency, safety measures, and operational efficiency of the automobiles. Catalytic converter is usually used in the exhaust systems in automobiles and is also applied to mining equipment, locomotives and motorcycles, forklifts, electrical generators, buses, and trucks. Also, it used in several wood stoves to control emissions. Catalytic converters are deployed in response to government regulation due to rising concerns about health & safety and the environment.
