Internal combustion (IC) engines waste a majority of the energy they consume, with only
20% actually going into moving the vehicle. The drivetrains of electric vehicles (EVs) can …

This report on “Environmental improvement potential of passenger cars” is the second
scientific contribution to the European Commission's Integrated Product Policy framework …

This paper presents a systematic overview of the environmental impacts of new average
diesel and petrol cars from a life cycle perspective. An analysis of different technical and non …

EU6D emission regulation intends to bridge the gap between laboratory tests and the real
driving conditions by introducing real drive emission testing. It requires the measurement of …

Predicting the amount of combustion generated nano-scale particulate matter (PM) emitted
by gasoline direct injection (GDI) is a challenging task, but immensely useful for engine …

This paper presents an exhaust emission comparison for light-duty in-use compressed
natural gas (CNG)-gasoline flexible-fuel vehicles under the ECE 15 driving cycle protocol …

A method is proposed to relate essentially instantaneous roadside measurements of vehicle
exhaust emissions, with emission results generated over a type approval driving cycle. An …

this project presents a simulation study of the influence of various factors on the energy
consumption of an electric vehicle (EV). Because of the limited amount of energy contained …

The work presented investigates the effect of road gradient, head-wind, horizontal road
curvature, changes in tyre rolling radius, vehicle drag co-efficient and vehicle weight on real …

With increased numbers of vehicles on Irish roads, there is now a need to be able to
scientifically assess the quantity of pollutant material to which populations are exposed …
