The Concawe Oil Pipelines Management Group (OPMG) has collected data on the safety and environmental performance of oil pipelines in Europe since 1971. Information on annual throughput and traffic, spillage incidents and in-line inspection activities are gathered...

Real-world emissions measurements of a GDI passenger car with and without a gasoline particulate filter

Sep 18, 2017

A new study aims to evaluate the effects of a gasoline particulate filter on NOx and PN emissions from GDI passenger vehicles under real driving conditions. Emissions have been the focus of worldwide legislation for more than 25 years. Regulation initially...

Validation of a simulation model for the assessment of CO2 emissions of passenger cars under real-world conditions

Sep 18, 2017

Currently, European CO2 emission and fuel economy targets for the automotive sector are based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), a driving cycle that was not originally designed for this purpose. This has led to an increasing gap between the real-world average...
