The particle emissions of a Euro 5 technology DPF-equipped diesel passenger car were characterized under regulated and unregulated conditions. More specifically, the vehicle was tested under the New European Driving Cycle but also under the Common Artemis Driving Cycles. Measurements were...

CO2 emissions of new passenger cars (PCs) registered in Europe are monitored in order to meet the objectives of Regulation EC 443/2009. This calls for an average CO2 emission of 130 g/km for new PCs registered in Europe to be met by vehicle measures in 2015. This decreases to 95 g/km in 2020....

This report on "Environmental improvement potential of passenger cars" is the second scientific JRC's contribution to the European Commission's Integrated Product Policy framework which seeks to minimise the environmental degradation caused the life cycle of products. A previous study...
