The equipment and procedures used to test the fuel economy and exhaust emissions characteristics of a prototype Fiat 131 2.4 liter diesel automobile with turbocharging(TC) and with natural aspiration (NA) are described. The tests included four cyclic tests, e.g., urban driving cycle, expressway driving cycle, and steady state driving at 15, 25, 40, 50, and 60 mph in the appropriate gear. Data are presented for CO, NO/sub x/ and particulate emissions and for fuel economy. The results showed that diesel vehicle turbocharging accompanied by complementary modifications appears to be a viable emissions control technology and should be further examined.
