Highlights PEMS testing performed on five Australian sports utility vehicles. Geo-computation method applied to add critical elevation data. COPERT Australia emission algorithms require recalibration for SUVs. Diesel SUVs exhibit the Euro 5 NOx problem. Diesel NOx emissions are seven times the type-approval limit.
Abstract A Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) was used to measure emissions of five sports utility vehicles (SUVs) in a wide range of real-world driving conditions. The program included testing of fuel quality, coast-down and emissions in start, hot running and extended idling conditions. Geo-computation methods were used to add critical information (road gradient) to the PEMS data. Results from this study are generally in good agreement with international PEMS data. Hot running NOx emission factors are on average seven times higher than the type-approval limit for diesel SUVs, and they reach about 2100 and 400 mg/km in urban conditions for NOx and NO2, respectively. They are 7 (NOx) and 4 (NO2) times higher than current emission factors in COPERT Australia. COPERT Australia emission algorithms for CO2 are well behaved and the PEMS data suggest an update is not required. COPERT Australia emission algorithms should be revised for diesel SUVs (NOx, NO2) and petrol SUVs (CO, THC, NO2) to ensure accurate estimation of vehicle emissions at fleet level. Inclusion of logistic regression is proposed for future COPERT updates.
