In this study typical figures for fuel consumption (FC), CO2 and CO2-equivalent emissions as well as energy consumption of current and future propulsion and fuel configurations for heavy duty vehicles (HDV) have been assessed. This report covers the Tank-to-Wheels (TTW) part of a comprehensive W...
The JEC consortium is a long-standing collaboration among the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC), EUCAR (the European council for Automotive Research and development) and Concawe (the scientific body of the European Refiners’ Association for environment, health and safety in re...
This Tank-to-Wheel (TTW) report describes the final use of the various fuels and corresponding powertrain options. The TTW study described in this report includes several different fuel–powertrain configurations for conventional 1 (i.e. “ICE-only”) as well as electrified (i.e. “xEV”) powertrain ...
Under Framework Contract no. ENV.A.2/FRA/2015/0008, a consortium led by Oeko-Institut was requested by DG Environment of the European Commission to provide technical and scientific support for the evaluation of exemption requests under the new RoHS 2 regime. The work has been undertaken by the O...
This case study covers: - Measure 1.3 (Article 25): Investments onboard fishing vessels and selectivity – Action 7 Engine replacement; - Measure 2.2 (Article 33) - Inland fishing – Action 1 - Inland fishing vessels Based on the analysis of the EFF intervention logic, the objectives of this measu...
The EU is offering €3.5 million to the person or team who develops the cleanest combustion engine....
In-service monitoring procedure should not be applied to hand-held engine of categories NRSh-v-1a, NRSh-v- 1b and NRS-vr-1a, as a result of comparing their ageing in a test bench with their operation in the field. Equivalent field vs bench ageing should be demonstrated at type-approval of new mo...
Engine power of fishing vessels is one of the measures used to control fishing effort and to determine the fleet size of European fishing fleets, in order to ensure sustainable management of marine resources. For effective management of fishing effort, registered power values must be reliable. T...
