WHO estimates 7 million or ~1 in 8 global deaths linked to impacts of poor air quality Air pollution now world s largest single environmental health risk. 4
Air Quality Why It Matters Contribution of transport emissions to overall burden of emissions NOx PM 2.5 Nontransport, 42% Transport, 58% Road transport exhaust, 33% Railways, 1% Domestic shipping, 4% International shipping, 15% Domestic aviation, 1% International aviation, 4% Nontransport, 73% Transport, 27% Road transport exhaust, 10% Road transport nonexhaust, 5% Domestic shipping, 2% International shipping, 10% SOx Nontransport, 79% Transport, 21% Domestic shipping, 2% International shipping, 19% NOx emissions in Europe are predominantly from the transport sector Not the case for some other pollutants where other sources dominate 5
Air Quality Why It Matters NOx emissions in cities and human exposure at roadside are dominated by road transport Legal Limit Areas exceeding NO 2 limit Close to roads, the contribution from road vehicles easily dominates concentrations and exposure across the EU, road transport emissions account for 64% of NO 2 concentrations Emissions are released at ground level where they have maximum impact At the roadside transport emissions completely dominate human exposure 6
Air Quality Why It Matters Evidence exists that roadside NO 2 has been falling, but levels are still higher than those permitted by Air Quality legislation Trends in raw and meteorology-adjusted NO 2 data 15 London Roadside Sites Roadside NO 2 falling but too slowly Not all NO 2 derives from light-duty diesel vehicles, but they are seen as substantial contributors All diesel vehicles fitted with particulate traps since Euro 5 or earlier Annual mean limit value 40µg/m 3 Diesel Pm emissions now lower than gasoline vehicles 7

Summary and Conclusions Aftertreatment systems continue to evolve to support the reduction of GHG and emissions that support high efficiency powertrain yet operate effectively over a wide range of feed gas conditions Predictive methods, capable of simulating RDE scenarios are key in developing compliant systems whilst simultaneously understanding CO 2 trade-offs Light Duty Diesel aftertreatment configurations have been identified that can meet future conformation factors of 1.5. Lean gasoline aftertreatment systems show good potential to meet constituent emissions and initial work has suggests N 2 O emissions can be reduced to meet China 6 standards however more work is required before conclusions can be drawn for US standards The heavy duty on highway market faces 90% reduction in NOx emissions, work to date suggest that this can be met with advanced configurations but not without a CO 2 penalty 40
