Nations all over the globe are adopting stricter regulations for automotive exhaust gas emissions. Oxygen sensor technology has gained an important role in the quest for cleaner-running engines. However, the sensors function inefficiently below normal operating temperatures, making the engine's "cold start" period a continuing source of pollution. Kyocera has addressed this problem by developing fast-acting, electrically-powered ceramic heaters for oxygen sensors.
