Abstract:

Road transport emission levels are at an all-time low and post Euro VI regulations are now up for discussion. A literature study of unregulated diesel emissions in Europe; CO2, N2O, NO2, CH4 and aldehydes has been made to determine the effects and importance of the emissions in today´s heavy-duty vehicles. This work aims to give better knowledge of the emissions with fundamental information about each emission’s formation, environmental effects, health effects, measuring methods, and reduction methods. Also examined is the possibility of limiting these emissions and what policies can be enforc

Abstract This paper reports the quantification of the evaporative emissions from gasoline-poweredmotor vehicles in South Africa under various conditions including high temperatures. Three vehicles with and without evaporative emission control systems have been tested to quantify gasoline evaporative emissions, including both diurnal and running loss emissions. Measurements were made in a Sealed Housing for Evaporative Determination over a range of ambient temperatures. The standard diurnal test shows that evaporative emissions increase progressively with increasing fuel temperature. South Afri

Abstract:

Anthropogenic gas- and particle-phase emissions affect the climate by absorbing and scattering radiation, and have been linked to adverse health effects. Black carbon (BC), a by-product of incomplete combustion, is the most potent light-absorbing component of atmospheric aerosols, with a top-of-the atmosphere direct radiative forcing estimated to be only second to CO2. However, there is a large uncertainty associated with BC’s total direct and indirect radiative forcings due to uncertain source emissions and optical properties and complex interactions with clouds.

Abstract:

Carbon emissions from road transport make up 20% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. Therefore, reducing carbon emissions from road transport is significant in reaching carbon reduction targets. In urban areas where signal controlled intersections are common, carbon emissions from vehicular traffic can be aggravated by aggressive driving and interruptions induced by traffic control. Considerable variations in speed and acceleration profiles could be observed between high carbon and low carbon driving. In view of the immediate effects that changing driving behaviour could have on c

Over the years the regulations on emissions from heavy duty vehicles have become stricter. Emission measurements during development are therefore done by the manufacturers in order to check compliance in an early stage.

Therefore a simplified concept for replacing such equipment was evaluated and a prototype was designed capable of measuring NOx concentration, exhaust volume flow and CO2 concentration together with reading on board diagnostic messages over CAN in order to include additional tr

In the last few years, scientific consensus is that emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere is contributing to changes in the earth's climate. While uncertainty remains over the pace and dimensions of the change, a consensus on the need for action has grown among the public and elected officials. In part, this shift has been accelerated by concern over energy security and rising fuel prices. The new political landscape has led many cities, states, and regions to institute policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions. These policies and emerging initiatives have significant implicat

Abstract:

Pollutants emissions and fuel economy tests for passenger cars differ from region to region of the world, since different driving condition and vehicle fleet characterize different geographical areas.

Therefore, the European Commission has planned to introduce the Worldwide Harmonized Light Duty Test Procedure (WLTP) from September 2017. As a consequence, the CO2 emissions target should be adapted,

But the increased resolution of emissions signals does not equate with increased accuracy.

This poses a technical challenge, because vehicle emission test facilities are not designed to support instantaneous emissions modelling, and they introduce distorting effects that compromise th

The Well-To-Wheels (WTW) methodology is widely used for policy making in the transportation sector. In this paper updated WTW calculations are provided, relying on 2013 statistic data, for the carbon intensity (CI) of the European electricity mix; detail is provided for electricity consumed in each EU Member State (MS). An interesting aspect presented is the calculation of the GHG content of electricity traded between Countries, affecting the carbon intensity of the electricity consumed at national level. The amount and CI of imported electricity is a key aspect: a Country importing electricit

Abstract:

Les instruments politiques sur les émissions de véhicules passagers visent à réduire les externalités négatives sur l'environnement causées par l'usage des véhicules. Des réglementations sur les émissions de CO2 ont été mises en place en Europe, aux États-Unis, en Chine et ailleurs. La cible réglementaire basée sur la moyenne des émissions des véhicules vendus par un constructeur devient plus contraignante au fil du temps. Cette thèse analyse comment les constructeurs automobiles anticipent et préparent leurs futurs portefeuilles de technologies afin de respecter les futurs objectifs politique
