ICCT-sponsored study of in-use testing of 3 Tier2-Bin5, CA LEV-II light-duty diesels finds wide variation of emissions against the limits

Green Car Congress

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.

Study finds high exhaust temperatures within NTE operation for heavy-duty diesels with aftertreatment systems contribute to high nanoparticle concentrations

Green Car Congress

Current 2010 USEPA emissions standards for NO x and PM are set at 0.20 work presents the findings of PM nanoparticle emissions downstream of a DPF-SCR after-treatment system, while operating at low and high exhaust temperature load conditions. The team used a MY 2007 Volvo MD11 engine compliant with USEPA 2007 emissions standards.

Parker Hannifin gaining traction with RunWise HD hydraulic hybrid; developing CNG-based HD system, next-gen MD system

Green Car Congress

The engine may be decoupled from the drive train during stop and go driving, delivering greater fuel savings, reduced emissions and engine-off operation when compared with a parallel hybrid. RunWise improves upon the typical gains achieved by using natural gas as a fuel source. CNG concept. Low-speed cycle. CO 2 (g/mi).

ICCT study finds real-world NOx emissions from Euro 6 diesels ~7x higher than Euro 6 regulatory levels

Green Car Congress

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). Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
