Identification of high emitting heavy duty vehicles using Plume Chasing: European case study for enforcement
Original language description
The real-world emissions of almost 5000 heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), determined by the Plume Chasing method in different European countries from 2016 to 2023, are presented. NOx emission factors are provided for all assessed vehicles, while solid particle number (PN) and black carbon (BC) emission factors are reported for over 1100 HDVs. A real-time processing software, used in most campaigns, classified vehicles as suspect or high emitters according to Euro emission standards, usually in less than a minute. Several of the identified suspicious and high emitters were stopped and inspected by authorities, revealing causes of the high emissions such as tampering, defects, or cold SCR. The inspections provided further evidence of the merits of the Plume Chasing method to authorities for a reliable pre-identification of malfunctions of the emission systems.
