Emissions / Consumption

We have been specialised in automotive pollution since the start of the European regulations in 1970 and we are involved from the development process up to regulatory validation (tests for homologation purpose).

Tests on all land vehicles (LV, HGV, 2-wheel, etc.) and all engine types (combustion, hybrid, electric)

Consumption, regulated and non-regulated pollutants (NRP)
Performance
Endurance
Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS)
Physical and chemical analyses
Evaporative emissions (SHED)
Regulatory tests (WLTP, RDE, NEDC, US, TRIAS)

Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests

2016 new EU regulation which implement RDE as a type approval requirement
A complete scope of services (preparation, testing, analysis) with regulatory consulting/support:
- Preparation:
  - Installation of the PEMS
  - Vehicle instrumentation
  - Proposal of RDE route profiles
- Data acquisition:
  - RDE testing on tracks
  - RDE testing on open roads
  - Measurement on test benches
- Data analysis:
  - Data acquisition: CO, CO2, NO, NO2 and O2
  - Data analysis according to RDE regulation
    
    Emissions testing at the facilities in Great Britain.
