Why will auto manufacturers and engine designers want to use the PDI?
Auto manufacturers have the same concerns as any business does. They want to reduce their costs, increase their profit margins and sales, maintain their collaborative relationships with related industry groups, and meet or exceed emissions standards – and do all of this without significant retooling costs on their production lines. Plasmatronics’ Plasma Drive Ignition system effectively addresses these needs. In addition, we believe, and intend to submit our test results for evaluation to the EPA and CARB, that using our PDI systems, pollution is so dramatically reduced that catalytic converters can be eliminated from the exhaust system. This translates to decreased manufacturing costs, elimination of the backpressure clogged catalytic converters can exert to diminish vehicle performance, and elimination of the problem of disposing of highly toxic, clogged catalytic converters. Vehicles with factory-installed PDI systems may be eligible for tax credits based on fuel economy gains as we
