Presentation comparing performance results of retrofit diesel particulate filters under the European Test Cycle and Worldwide Harmonized Test Cycle.

Update on development and validation of the new hybrid heavy-duty vehicle test cycles.

Final report on the work performed by Institute for Internal Combustion Engines and Thermodynamics of the Graz University of Technology (TUG) to assess the Japanese HILS certification method within the research program on an emissions and CO2 test procedure for Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH).

This report is the final report of the work done by the Universities of Technology in Chalmers, Graz and Vienna and research institute TNO performed within the research program on an emissions and CO2 test procedure for Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH). This report specifically refers to Validation Test Program 1 (VTP1) under the contract for “Developing the Methodology for Certifying Heavy-Duty Hybrids based on HILS”.

Presentation of the results of the validation test program 1 and status of test program 2 (Chassis dyno test program at JRC, HDH drive cycle investigation, and HILS/SILS model verification) and review of open issues for drafting the GTR text.
