    Abstract: A three-way catalyst device (TWC) includes a first catalytic brick (FCB) and a second catalytic brick (SCB) downstream from the FCB. The FCB has a first washcoat applied to a first support body including ceramic and/or metal oxide particles, Pd particles, and Rh particles, and has at most 35 g/ft3 Pd and at most 7.5 g/ft3 Rh. The SCB has a second washcoat applied to a second support body including ceramic and/or metal oxide particles, Pt particles, and Rh particles, and has a Pt loading of at most 35 g/ft3 Pt and a Rh loading of at most 7.0 g/ft3 Rh. The FCB can have 25 g/ft3 to 35 g/ft3 Pd and 5.5 g/ft3 to 7.5 g/ft3 Rh and the SCB can have 25 g/ft3 to 35 g/ft3 Pt and 5.0 g/ft3 to 7.0 g/ft3 Rh. The TWC can receive exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine powering a vehicle.

    Abstract: A nitrogen oxides (NOx) storage catalyst for treating an exhaust gas flow is provided. The NOX storage catalyst includes a flow-through substrate defining channels for receiving the exhaust gas flow and first and second zones present in the channels. The first zone includes a first NOX storage catalyst coating capable of storing NOX at a first adsorption temperature and releasing NOX at a first desorption temperature. The second zone includes a second NOX storage catalyst coating capable of storing NOX at a second adsorption temperature and releasing NOX at a second desorption temperature. The second desorption temperature is greater than the first desorption temperature. Methods of using the NOX storage catalyst for treating an exhaust gas stream flowing from a vehicle engine during a period following a cold-start of the engine are also provided.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric motor and a battery operable to provide electrical power to the electric motor. The battery system includes a first battery pack and a second battery pack. The first battery pack has a relatively high power density, and the second battery pack has a relatively high energy density. An electronic controller determines a remaining driving range of the first battery pack, and a remaining driving range of the second battery pack. The vehicle has a human-machine interface (HMI) operatively connected to the electronic controller and configured to indicate the remaining driving range of the first battery pack and the remaining driving range of the second battery pack. The controller executes a method of monitoring the battery system.
