The Well-to-Wheels (WTW) study carried out jointly by EUCAR, JRC/IES and CONCAWE was completed at the end of 2003. The study considered a wide range of primary energy sources, automotive fuels and powertrains. The energy and GHG balance was estimated for close to 500...
Report no. 3/04: A joint test programme has been carried out by CONCAWE and GFC to evaluate the impact of gasoline volatility and ethanol on the driveability performance of modern European vehicles. Eight vehicles, three with DISI fuel systems and five with MPI, were...
Report no. 2/04: The influence of gasoline quality on exhaust emissions has been evaluated using four modern European gasoline cars with advanced engine technologies/after treatment systems. Part 1 of this report described the short-term sensitivity of these four cars...
CONCAWE first embarked on work on fuels quality in relation to automotive emissions in the late 1970s.Since that time, tremendous progress has been made in reducing emissions from road transport, with improvements in fuel quality contributing substantially to these...
Report no. 5/03: The influence of gasoline quality on exhaust emissions has been evaluated using four modern European gasoline cars with advanced technologies designed to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, including stoichiometric direct injection, lean-burn...
