FC [g/km] vs. avg. speed for 1 diesel car NO x [g/km] vs. avg. speed for 1 diesel car
Routine remote sensing site at Zurich/Switzerland Extra-urban site in Zurich conurbation 9% uphill grade, after 1.5 km ride through forest Preconditioned hot ~5 000 veh/day one direction Measurements started late 1990 ies Goetsch, AWEL ZH 2013
On-road vehicle emission remote sensing Zurich/CH 2000-2012 data overview Avg. speed: 46 km/h (20-56) Avg. accel.: 1.2 m/s 2 (0.5-2.8) incl. 9% uphill grade Engine load ~ highway driving! ~ 130 000 valid records Increasing share of diesel cars! Chen & Borken-Kleefeld, AtmEnv. 88 (2014)
NO x emissions on-road Limits: diesel On-road diesel On-road remote sensing (here Zurich/CH, 9% uphill): Gasoline cars follow emission limit development (though very different cycle) Diesel cars: NO x even higher now than 20 years ago, no correlation with limits.

NO x emissions: On-road vs. HBEFA for cars For meaningful comparison account for different engine loads, different mean vehicle ages, different manufacturer mix. For highway driving HBEFA ~ RS Zurich. But urban London should be at much lower level!? London: Carslaw & Rhys-Tyler, AtmEnv (2013) Zurich: Chen & Borken-Kleefeld, AtmEnv. 88 (2014) HBEFA/PHEM: Hausberger, Rexeis et al. (2009)
NO x emissions: Correlation over engine load Comparing Instantaneous on-road vehicle kinetic power with cycle averaged PHEM modeled engine power Surprisingly close correlation engine power key for emissions of diesel Euro 4 (and Euro 2) cars Different for Euro 3 & 5 cars
Similar load effect for diesel cars in London (Carslaw & Rhys-Tyler 2013) Roughly linear increase between 5-20 kw/t VSP Differences in level and slope by engine size (<2 l/>2 l)
Share NO 2 decreases with load for diesel cars (Carslaw & Rhys-Tyler 2013) Different NO 2 share by engine size (<2 l/>2 l) NO 2 shares slightly decrease with load We and HBEFA use one constant NO 2 share for all engine size and loads
NO x emissions: On-road vs. HBEFA for LCV HBEFA ok for Euro 3-5 LCV Old LCV not ok, hence trend wrong LCV like diesel cars, not like limit values.
Emissions over engine load NO x -PM conflict for low-emission zones LCV NOx LCV - Opacity Euro 1 always low, Euro 5 always high NO x (also in urban driving) Euro 1 always highest, Euro 5 always lowest PM robust over whole load range
HBEFA = average fleet in Europe? NO x diesel cars NO (x) emissions vary ±30% between manufacturers No manufacturer within NEDC limit Fleets with high share of D7 average D3, D11 or D12 low French fleet high or low or average? German fleet
HBEFA = average fleet in Europe? Opacity diesel cars Opacity varies -60%/+50% between manufacturers Fleets with high share of D7 averagelow D3D8, D9, D11, D12 low French fleet high or low or average? German fleet
Best manufacturers manage low PM and low NO x emissions Diesel cars by manufacturer Strong reduction of PM does not compromise on NO (x) emissions Reduction efforts deliberate choice by individual manufacturer Why not require BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY? Caveat: No direct NO 2 measurements here
Perspectives NO 2 PM 10/2.5 Vehicle categories Heavy-duty trucks & buses, OLD gasoline cars, DIESEL cars Heavy-duty trucks & buses, DIESEL cars Control requirement Target HDV (+ diesel LDV) Need NO+NO 2 Need PM 2.5 emissions. Clear relation with RS opacity? Target HDV (+ diesel LDV)! Abrasion, brake, tyre possible? Focus remote sensing on dedicated tasks!? Monitoring emissions from fleet and specific vehicles & technologies Large sample in short time, flexible locations fleet coverage Great for research applications, e.g. Deterioration factors, validation of emission factors,
