Study finds engines emit exhaust nanoparticles even when not fueled during engine braking

Green Car Congress

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 exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold. The exhaust sample was taken from the exhaust manifold.

International consortium working on new sensor technology to measure real-world, in-use vehicle emissions

Green Car Congress

As part of the Horizon 2020 research project CARES (City Air Remote Emission Sensing), an international research consortium is working on new contactless exhaust measurement methods that will enable municipalities to take emission-reducing measures. The aim is to detect the exhaust class of each individual vehicle using these measurements.

Mercedes-AMG 2L, turbo four-cylinder pushes out up to 421 hp, 500 Nm

Green Car Congress

The peak torque of 500 N·m (480 N·m for the basic version) is available in a range of 5000-5250 rpm (4750-5000 rpm in the basic version). The engine developers were also able to realize a dynamically increasing torque curve in the lower engine speed range, thereby improving agility. 180-degree rotation. Turbocharger.

Study finds renewable diesel blends deliver fuel consumption and CO2 benefits in Euro 5 engines

Green Car Congress

It can be produced from many kind of non edible vegetable oils, animal fats, waste oils and consists of a mixture of paraffinic hydrocarbons in diesel boiling range, free of sulfur, oxygen and aromatics. HVO based fuels can be used without affecting fuel logistics, engine and exhaust after-treatments. —Napolitano et al.

Study investigates impact of operating conditions and load on soot particle number distribution for diesel and biodiesel

Green Car Congress

The presence of oxygen in the fuel has the potential to lower the exhaust particle number concentration in diesel engines, they concluded. Limited information is available in the literature about the exhaust soot particle number size distribution under these operation conditions for diesel and RME fuels. Labecki et al. Labecki et al.
