Report no. 4/05: CONCAWE has measured PAH emissions from a range of vehicles and fuels. For diesel vehicles, the relationship between fuel poly-aromatics content and PAH in exhaust emissions has been examined. The programme focused on the US EPA’s Priority Pollutant...
Road transport is one of the greatest conundrums challenging the sustainability of our lifestyles today. Mobility is essential—for the individual, for commerce and for industry. Indeed, the increased prosperity of the past 40 years has been underpinned by road...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions have been of concern for many years due to potential carcinogenic effects, with several individual PAHs having been classified by IARC as either ‘probably carcinogenic to humans’ or ‘possibly...
Report no. 2/05: To update understanding on emissions from road transport, CONCAWE is continuing to assess fuel effects on emissions from new engine/vehicle technologies as they approach the market. In this work, two advanced light-duty diesel vehicles and three...
Although well researched in the past, there has been little recent work on fuel effects on driveability performance or evaporative emissions from European gasoline vehicles. Recently, the Biofuels Directive has stimulated interest in blending ethanol into...
