Emission Regulation and vehicle development from evolution to a paradigm shift
Europe will started with a “paradigm shift like” emission regulation for passenger cars in Sept. 2017. It shall result in a real-life sustainable vehicle, but also in a change of how to develop and type approve cars. The randomness of real driving emissions will end the comfort zone of precisely defined procedures and boundary conditions. It also will expand the test invorinment from the laboratory to the road as well as into the soak area for plug-in hybrids.
1. WLTP will up-date the existing old laboratory test procedures (UN-ECE R-83) - with a more representative drive cycle, more realistic vehicle road loads and new procedures – that will close the gap between CO2 and fuel consumption measured in the laboratory and in real life.
2. Real Driving Emissions will extend emission testing into the infinite variability and randomness of real life driving. That will close the gap between lab and road for the critical pollutant emissions.
3. Hybrid testing will expand the measurement of fuel and energy consumption into the soak area, by considering the energy consumed by battery charging.
Along with these changes in legislation emission testing, also development and compliance testing will change, in order to develop such vehicles and ensure compliance in the random world of real driving.
