and predicted their market share t
by 1975 "will probably remain 1
small.''
To meet the 1975 standards, an
auto engine must emit no more p
than 10 per cent of the carbon!
monoxide and hydrocarbons
emitted 1970 engines, even after
50,000 miles of driving.
EPA said Thursday that the
Mazda, a small car made by Toyo
Kogyo and equipped with a rotary
engine, passed a 50,000-mile test,
of one vehicle and a 4,000-mile test
of another.
The agency had announced in
January that a small car made by
Honda with a redesigned piston
engine could meet not only the
1975 standard but the more strin-
gent standards for 1976.
The Honda has not yet been
offered for sale in the United
States.
The EPA staff also reported that
an automobile diesel engine made
by Daimler-Benz of West Germany
demonstrated emissions below the
1975 requirement.
The EPA staff reported, however,
that General Motors, Chrysler and
Ford were "above average" in
antipollution development and "will
probably be able to certify for
model year 1975."
The "Big Three" automakers
supply about 85 per cent of the
U.S. auto market EPA said.
