3 28/09/ Elements affecting the environmental impacts of traffic Community structure Traffic volumes & choice of transport mode Energy for transport Vehicles and user behaviour

4 28/09/ Current status of vehicles The current passenger car is: reliable comfortable relatively safe environmentally friendly regarding regulated emissions in most cases a high-performance vehicle What should be improved? fuel efficiency the ability to use renewable or CO2-neutral energy rational use of cars Traditionally heavy-duty vehicles have been fuel efficient but dirty, but with the JPN 2009, US2010 and Euro VI emission regulations the situation will change

5 28/09/ Regulated emissions can be reduced significantly - provided that we have high-quality fuels Source: B. Knight/Honda Motor Company 2004

7 28/09/ Characterisation of vehicles and fuels In order to evaluate and improve vehicle technologies and fuels you have to be able to measure exhaust emissions and fuel efficiency Regulated as well as unregulated emission components Light- and heavy-duty vehicles Varying ambient conditions

9 28/09/ VTT s activities on HD vehicles In 2002 VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) commissioned a new chassis dynamometer emission laboratory for heavy-duty vehicles VTT has tested close to 500 HD vehicles buses as well as trucks vehicles with Euro I to EEV emission certification, diesel and NG a comprehensive data base on emission factors and fuel consumption has been generated Types of activities development of measurement methodology determination of real-life emission characteristics determination of fuel efficiency research on fuel savings research on new biofuels (next generation)

21 Objective of the project The goal of the OPTIBIO project was to verify the feasibility of high quality, high concentration drop-in biofuels as fuels for urban bus fleets general functionality and cold-weather performance compatibility with existing infrastructure and existing vehicles emission benefits In this case, the fuel was paraffinic renewable diesel fuel made by hydrotreatment of vegetable oils and animal waste fats (HVO) The core of the OPTIBIO project was a 3.5 year field test with some 300 buses JSAE SAE

33 NO/NO2 emissions for various vehicle technologies

34 Why NOx as limit value? Emission Regulations have traditionally set limit values for NOx, i.e. the sum of NO + NO 2 Reasoning behind this is based on several facts: NO is not a stable compound thus it is not possible to measure NO 2 using the standard bag-analysis method that is the basis for legislative measurements of exhausts Therefore, it was more practical to set limit value for the sum (NOx), because that is not dependent on the share of each component, which is timedependent even today, because of the transient nature of NO, measuring NO 2 must be done using on-line analysis and modal measurement

35 Why the interest in NO 2? Many recent exhaust emission after-treatment technologies, especially in diesel-powered vehicles, include very efficient oxidising catalysts that tend to increase the share of direct NO 2 amongst NOx emissions

36 Europe has switched to diesel N.B: diesel sum of HD + LD, increase in diesel switch from gasoline to LD diesel + increase in commercial diesel Source: ACEA, Wood McKenzie 2010/Europia

43 Selected Technologies G & D Late-model DPF-equipped diesel cars emit very high direct NO 2 levels Of after-treatment equipped petrol-fuelled technologies the stratified-lean FSI combustion with storage-nox type of catalyst is the most critical for direct NO 2 NO2 levels are, however, only some % of the DPF diesel levels and lower than those of non-cat petrol vehicles technology MY cycle ambient/start-up NOx (g/km) NO 2 (g/km) cold-% ambient/start-up NOx (g/km) NO 2 (g/km) warm-% G FSI, lean-nox 2003 Helsinki-city +23 C, cold-start % +23 C, warm start % ECE C, warm start % +23 C, warm start % D (PD+TC), DOC 2008 Helsinki-city +23 C, cold-start % +23 C, warm start % ECE C, warm start % +23 C, warm start %

44 Summary There has been significant progress in vehicle technology over the last 20 years Regulated emissions have been drastically improved, but: new diesel buses do not deliver as good real-life emission performance as expected direct NO2 emissions are increasing mainly due to PM reducing exhaust aftertreatment technologies for diesel vehicles NO2 to NO ratio can be as high as 2:1 For diesel vehicles reducing particulate mass emissions is in conflict with direct NO2 emissions

45 Summary When evaluating vehicle performance unregulated emissions should also be taken into account direct NO2 particle numbers exhaust mutagenicity etc... In the case of city buses, methane delivers superb performance: low particulate mass and particle numbers low NOx and for stoichiometric engines practically zero direct NO2 Who will develop a universal index for exhaust gas harmfulness?
