Five Euro 6 LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) bi-fuel passenger cars well representative of the Italian circulating fleet were tested in laboratory (in repeatable conditions on a chassis dynamometer) and road real traffic using portable emissions measurement system). The regulated unregulated exhaust energy consumptions measured with gasoline fuelling compared. All compliant limits over type-approval driving cycles RDE (Real Driving Emissions) tests except for particle number emission from only...
This study assessed the potential for decreasing environmental impact of European road transport sector by exploiting biofuels. After processing available data on actual trends biofuels utilisation in sector, laboratory and on-road tests were conducted to compare emissions from a C-segment Euro 6d-TEMP passenger car fed with commercial reference petrol three experimental blends containing components renewable origin. Through Life Cycle Assessment methodology based measurement data, impacts...
