Exhaust particle size distributions measured by ELPI (color map) and particle concentration measured by CPC (white line) during individual engine braking conditions (speed change from 32 km/h to 0 km/h). The starting point of engine braking is marked by a vertical green line, and the end point is marked by a vertical red line.

A team from the University of Vaasa (Finland) and UPM-Kymmene Corporation has examined how the blends of fossil and renewable diesel produced from crude tall oil (CTO) affect the performance and exhaust emissions of the modern common-rail off-road diesel engine. No engine or parameter modifications were made.

In Europe, the average amount of NO x present in exhaust emissions from modern diesel passenger cars under real-world conditions is more than double the levels from modern trucks and buses, according to a new briefing paper released by the independent research organization International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).

Emission measurements conducted by Institute of Transport Economics in Norway, in collaboration with VTT in Finland, show that new Euro 6 cars with diesel engines are struggling with NO x emissions well in excess of regulatory type limits when in real traffic.

The resulting fuels with high bioenergy content can be used in conventional gasoline-fueled automotive engines. from VTT Technical Research Centre in Finland and Neste showed that a combination of ethanol or isobutanol with bio-hydrocarbon components offers an option to reach high gasoline bioenergy content for E10-compatible cars.

Relative changes in PM characteristics (PM, N tot , GMD, FSN, and SA) on (a) 50%, (b) 75%, and (c) 100% loads and (d) NO x emissions due to engine parameter adjustments at the studied engine loads. It has been already reported that by changing the fuel from conventional EN590 diesel to HVO decreases exhaust emissions.
