This report summarizes the results of an experimental study assessing the real-world environmental performance and its comparison with laboratory measurements of two Euro VI step C Refuse Collection Heavy-Duty Vehicles. The first is equipped with a common-rail Diesel engine, a Selective...

Transport is a key factor in modern economies. However, the EU transport system is currently not sustainable, and in many respects moving away from sustainability rather than towards it. The European Environment Agency highlights in particular the sector's growing CO2 emissions that threaten the...

In the diesel sector, engine technology is in continuous development and a number of after-treatment systems have been found which in combination with an enhanced fuel quality reduce emissions of PM, such as the oxidative catalyst and the particle trap. Today, the oxidative catalyst is...

This report analyses the factors influencing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of passenger cars in real-world operating conditions. Their effect generates the divergence between the officially reported fuel consumption and the one experienced by the drivers.

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, the European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR), and CONCAWE jointly completed this vehicle test programme to investigate the effect of oxygenates in gasoline on the fuel consumption, regulated emissions, and particle emissions of three...

This report describes the full life cycle of an intercomparison among European laboratories monitoring radioactivity in the environment. Gravimetrically pipetting droplets of a gravimetrically diluted standardised 137Cs solution onto real air filters, SI-traceable reference values were...

This report analyses the main sectors involved in air pollution generation and provides a first assessment and prioritisation of the main ongoing or foreseeable structural changes that may pose a threat to the European air quality in Europe. In particular the following questions have been...
