Age matters: Krakow’s remote sensing campaign
Poland’s remote sensing campaign confirmed that vehicles type-approved to newer standards had lower NOx and PM emissions than their predecessors.
France and Germany: A neck-and-neck race on electric vehicle sales
Are upcoming adjustments to France’s vehicle taxation policy the right tactic to impact its EV sales ranking?
Fighting fire with fuel: Why the EU should cap the level of fuel enrichment in passenger car engines
Although fuel enrichment is a common strategy used to boost performance, the engineering issues and increased CO emissions deserve a second look by regulators.
Real-world NOx emissions from remote sensing: An update of the TRUE rating
We recently finished collecting, cleaning up, and crunching the numbers from a real-world emissions measurement campaign in London using remote sensing. And we’ve updated the TRUE rating that categorizes vehicles based on NOx emissions to incorporate the additional data. Here are the highlights.
Will the future RDE regulation be enough to restore trust in diesel technology?
The success of the RDE regulation will depend on the will of manufacturers to prove that they have learned a lesson from Dieselgate by beginning to focus on reducing real-world emissions, not just on passing a particular test.
Fiat-Chrysler, Renault-Nissan . . . who might be next?
The current investigations might not prove that Fiat-Chrysler or Renault-Nissan used defeat devices per se, but these recalls confirm that automakers can do more than just the minimum necessary to comply with the letter of the law and reduce emissions in real-world conditions.
Adding to the pile of evidence: Recent on-road testing results for CO2 and exhaust emissions from Euro 6 light-duty vehicles in the EU
Summarizes the Emissions Analytics testing on nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates, both of which pose significant health problems, and CO2 which is vehicles’ main contribution to climate pollution.
