Recent studies on real driving emissions of diesel passenger cars

Mar 12, 2018

Real driving emissions (RDE) from passenger cars has come under close scrutiny in recent times due to a perceived divergence between stated certification and measured on-road performance. This has been most pointed in the case of NOx emissions from diesel cars. To...

Environmental Impacts of Marine SO2 Emissions

Feb 6, 2018

Report no. 1/18: This report details work that was carried out to study the impact of emissions from international shipping on air quality, with a focus on sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions. Emission inventories are discussed and put into perspective versus emissions...

Concawe Market Fuels Survey: 2015 – 2016

Nov 30, 2017

Report no. 10/17: Concawe conducted a market fuel survey on petrol and diesel qualities, taking samples from seventeen European countries during mid-2015 – early 2016. A total of 244 samples (100 petrol and 144 diesel) were sampled – petrol samples were...

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...
