Particulate Measurements and Emissions Characterization of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Exhaust

Particulate Measurements and Emissions Characterization of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Exhaust

Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

The objective of this project was to measure and characterize particulate emissions from light-duty alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and equivalent gasoline-fueled vehicles. The project included emission testing of a fleet of 129 gasoline-fueled vehicles and 19 diesel vehicles. Particulate measurements were obtained over Federal Test Procedure and US06 cycles. Chemical characterization of theexhaust particulate was also performed. Overall, the particulate emissions from modern technology compressed natural gas and methanol vehicles were low, but were still comparable to those of similar technology gasoline vehicles.
