What evidence exists to prove that the BLADE increases fuel economy and decrease emissions?
The Blade has undergone some of the most rigorous emissions and fuel economy testing in the world.The BLADE’s laboratory fuel economy and emissions testing were conducted by Lactec Laboratories in Curitiba, Brazil, and by Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), a California based independent testing laboratory which is accepted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is licensed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).At Lactec, the BLADE was tested on a 2003 Fiat Strata and a 2006 Toyota Corolla using the EPA’s FTP-75 emissions test protocol. Both vehicles achieved significant emissions reductions, while increasing fuel economy by 7% and 9% respectively.The testing of the Blade by ATDS was conducted in strict accordance with 40 CFR 86 and California Title 13, and following the EPA 511 Test Protocol (EPA Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Evaluation Program). The EPA-511 Protocol is a combination of the EPA’s FTP-75 emissions test, a
