JATOP, which kicked off in fiscal 2007, was a five-year collaborative research program conducted by the oil and auto industries, and was the successor to the JCAP (Japan Clean Air Program), which was conducted between fiscal 1997 and fiscal 2006 with the main goal of improving air quality by reducing motor vehicle exhaust emissions.
However, only a small fraction of SOA formed during photo-oxidation of dilute LDGV exhaust in a smog chamber is explained by single-ring aromatic compounds. SOA production from measured IVOCs was predicted and compared to that from single-ring aromatic compounds and SOA measured in photo-oxidation experiments with dilute exhaust.
Gasoline vehicle exhausts contribute very little to total national SO 2 emission (0.2% in 2006) but if they are replaced by EVs, the contribution would rise to 2-4%. Powered by the current electricity mix, EVs could cause a significant increase in SO 2 emissions by 3-6 times relative to ICEVs and 5-10 times relative to HEVs.
g CO 2 /km, the smallest annual decrease since 2006. While emissions from road transport are mostly exhaust emissions arising from fuel combustion, non-exhaust emissions contribute to both non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) (from fuel evaporation) and primary particulate matter (PM) (from tire- and brake-wear, and road abrasion).
