According to a study commissioned by the Washington, DC-based Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), NO x emissions measured from propane autogas school buses were substantially lower than those measured from diesel school buses. For the stop-and-go route, NO x emissions were 34 times higher for the diesel school bus.

Other benefits include the ability to lower plant water usage, reduce overall energy consumption, and drop GHG emissions to levels required for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Advanced Biofuel category.

On-road NO x emission levels of Euro 6 diesel cars in Europe are on average about seven times higher than the NO x limit set by the Euro 6 emission standard, according to a new report published in Berlin by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). Diesel vehicles make up about 50% of all new cars in the EU.

In a new study, a team from UCLA, with colleagues from the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and West Virginia University, measured total particle number emission factors (PNEFs) from six newly certified heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) powered by diesel and CNG totaling over 6,800 miles of on-road operation in California.

In-use testing of three light duty diesel vehicles—certified to US-EPA Tier2-Bin5 and California LEV-II ULEV emissions limits— found a wide variation in real world emissions performance relative to the regulatory limits. diesels and one 3.0L diesel) over pre-defined test routes exhibiting diverse driving conditions.

liter, four-cylinder diesels include software (a “defeat device”) that circumvents EPA emissions standards for NO x. The allegations cover roughly 482,000 diesel passenger cars sold in the United States since 2008. Affected diesel models include: Jetta (Model Years 2009 – 2015). Beetle (Model Years 2009 – 2015).

The researchers also found that some of the high temperature modes resulted in diesel particulate filter (DPF)-out accumulation mode (between 50 and 200 nm) particle concentrations an order of magnitude greater than typical background PM concentrations. Current 2010 USEPA emissions standards for NO x and PM are set at 0.20
