Overview

Background & policy context:

It is the objective of the German and the European Government to obtain a sustainable transportation policy. Mobility should be designed under consideration of environmental and climate protection, social responsibility and economic efficiency. Road traffic plays an important role within the transportation sector, with about ¾ of all conveyances fulfilled. For these reasons, it is important to reduce air pollution caused by vehicles.

Objectives:

Within the project, the objective was to analyse the emissions of different types of vehicles: Engines using petrol and diesel, that are labeled with Euro 4 or Euro 5 should be tested.

Methodology:

Within the officially relevant driving cycle NEFZ (new European Driving Cycle), only low engine loads and a low speed of 120 km/h is required. To achieve more in-depth information about emissions in everyday situations, the FTP 75 Driving Cycle and the Common Artemis Driving Cycle were carried out.
