Regulated and unregulated emissions from Euro VI Diesel and CNG heavy-duty vehicles

cover
A view on present and next future regulation
This study compares emissions from Euro VI-D Diesel and CNG buses across temperatures from −7 °C to 35 °C. Pollutants including NOx, THC, CH4, CO, NH3, N2O, HCHO, Solid Particle Number larger than 23 nm (SPN23) and larger than 10 nm (SPN10) were measured. Both buses complied with Euro VI-D but exceeded European Commission’s proposed Euro 7 limits, notably for NOx and SPN10. The CNG bus also surpassed NH3, CO, and CH4 limits, while the Diesel exceeded N2O limits. High NH3 emissions were observed from CNG (up to 0.320 g/kWh), with Diesel reporting lower levels (up to 0.021 g/kWh). HCHO emission from both vehicles were very low. SPN23 was under limits, but SPN10 exceeded Euro 7 limits at cold start tests. CNG’s CH4 and N2O emissions constituted up to 4.6% and 3.5% of CO2 equivalent, respectively. Diesel bus showed negligible CH4 but N2O emissions represented up to 37% of CO2 equivalent.
