Analysis of particle emissions of passenger cars in RDE tests

Abstract

The main issues addressed by the article are dimensional analysis of solid particles emitted by passenger cars operating in real driving conditions. It is a part of the current research trend focused on searching pro-ecological solutions related to determining the environmental impact of road transport. Special emphasis was placed on the comparison of the ecological parameters of passenger cars fuelled with petrol (conventional and hybrid) and diesel. All tests were carried out in accordance with the applicable requirements of the European Union. This approach will expand the knowledge base on the ecological properties of vehicles moving in urban, rural area and on highways.
