1984 Mercedes Turbo Diesel Emissions Test Results

This page documents independent emissions testing performed on a 1984 Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel treated with Cerma STM-3 technology, following EPA federal testing protocols.

Test Protocol: 40 CFR Part 86

Testing was conducted according to the Federal Test Guide - CFR 40 Part 86-EPA 78, the EPA standard for analyzing and measuring emissions from diesel-fueled motor vehicles. The CVS/FTP tests consist of three phases modeled after normal on-road vehicle usage.

• Certifications: EPA and California Air Resource Board (CARB) certified
• Independence: Third party with no affiliation or business relationship with Cerma

Test Procedure Overview

The comprehensive 21-step test procedure included:

• Three baseline CVS/FTP tests before treatment
• Baseline repeatability verification within 10% tolerance
• Application of Cerma liquid oil catalyst
• 100-mile drive cycle using AMA route
• Three post-treatment CVS/FTP tests

Emissions Measured

Samples were collected and analyzed for:

• THC – Total Hydrocarbons
• CO – Carbon Monoxide
• NOx – Nitrogen Oxides
• CO2 – Carbon Dioxide
• Fuel Economy

Why This Testing Matters

EPA 40 CFR Part 86 is the gold standard for vehicle emissions testing. By using CARB-certified independent testing facilities with no business relationship to Cerma, these results provide unbiased, credible verification of Cerma STM-3's emissions reduction capabilities.
