Analysis of tail-pipe emissions of a plug-in hybrid vehicle and its average emissions for different test cycles

Kurzfassung

evaluated with real-driving emission RDE tests and on our chassis dynamometer. Apart from analyzing the energy consumption of the vehicle and the resulting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the main pollutants mainly analysed are, amongst others, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particles. PHEV direct emissions strongly vary depending on the operating strategy. We compare the results of test with different modes in RDE tests and with the results from the dynamometer. Using this information, we evaluate the differences in emissions for the phases urban, rural and motorway driving of the test cycles.
