Maruti Suzuki Eeco:  Maruti cars are very popular all over the world, in India there is so much demand that people buy them readily. From hatch bikes to SUVs, Maruti cars get a good response in every category. Let us tell you that for the past few years, the owners of a Maruti car named Eeco are facing a big problem. Actually, there is a part in this car which is so valuable that thieves are earning a lot by stealing it. This part is as valuable as gold. Now today we are going to tell you which part is this and what is the reason behind it being valuable.

This Maruti car has a part as valuable as gold, thieves are getting rich by stealing it

Actually, the car part of Maruti Eeco that we are talking about is called catalytic converter, it is more valuable than other parts, due to which thieves target it. This part is considered as valuable as gold because it contains precious metals like palladium, platinum, and rhodium, which are very expensive. These metals are used in pollution reducing equipment and there is a huge demand for them in the international market. Thieves extract them in a few minutes and sell them to scrap dealers, which gives them huge profits.

How does the catalytic converter work? 

The catalytic converter on the Maruti Eeco is used to reduce harmful emissions from the vehicle's engine. It is part of the vehicle's exhaust system and reduces three main pollutants - carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons. The precious metals inside it, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, speed up the chemical reaction, which turns these pollutants into less harmful gases.

This is how it works 

Reduction Catalyst: This process breaks down nitrogen oxide gases into nitrogen and oxygen, thereby reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides in the air.

Oxidation Catalyst: In this, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are converted into carbon dioxide and water, thereby reducing the harmful effects of these gases.

Oxygen Storage: It has a sensor that controls the amount of oxygen so that the pollutants present in the exhaust can be effectively broken down.
