World first the new Mazda catalyst will be in New Mazda 3
Mazda Cuts Precious Metal Usage 70 Percent in New Single-nanocatalyst
- World first commercial application of the new catalyst will be in
the all-new Mazda3 and progressively introduced to other models -
HIROSHIMA, Japan--
Mazda Motor Corporation has announced the world's
first market application of single-nanocatalyst technology in automobile
catalytic converters. This highly durable new catalyst significantly
reduces the amount of precious metals used and effectively purifies
vehicle exhaust gases. It will first be introduced in the all-new
Mazda3 (known as the Mazda Axela in Japan) which will commence global
sales this year.

By looking at the diagram, all the indicators point to a yes. Base ceramic material is either equal or smaller than conventional and there is less amount of precious metals. Not clearly indicated by the diagram is if there are more of these clusters in the catalyst than conventional.
