LD Euro 5 – Current Status

• Commission Euro 5 proposal COM(2005)683 published on 21 December 2005– political part of the new Regulation

• Co-decision process in EU Council & EU Parliament– Austrian EU presidency organised Member States

seminar on Euro 5 preceding work in Environment Council working group

– Member states are calling for 2nd step for Diesel NOx– EU Parliament Rapporteur on Euro 5 and draftsmen

for opinions are known• Comitology part awaited by end 2006

– technical part of the new Regulation– incl. measurement procedures, OBD thresholds,

Deterioration Factors etc.

LD Euro 5 – Current Status• Change from a Directive to a Regulation:

– direct applicability in the EU Member States,– No transposition in national law needed,– Avoiding national interpretations.

• ‘Better Regulation’ case: – As from CARS 21 recommendations,– Repeal of base Directive 70/220/EEC as

amended,– Inclusion of requirements for measuring fuel

consumption and CO2 emissions (Directive 80/1268/EEC),

– Inclusion of smoke opacity measurement (Directive 72/306/EEC).

• 90% reduction in PM from large diesel vans (from 60 to 5 mg/km)

• New PM standard for lean-burn petrol engines (5 mg/km)

• Introduction of PM number standard planned– Awaits PMP outcome

• Revised PM measurement procedure planned– Awaits PMP outcome

LD Euro 5 –Tighter NOx and HC Limits

• 20% NOx reduction for diesel (from 250 to 200 mg/km)

• 25% NOx reduction for petrol(from 80 to 60 mg/km)

• EPA finalized certification program changes to include “public” aging protocols for emission system durability (whole vehicle aging or engine-aging; gasoline vehicles only)

• EPA mobile source toxics proposal issued– Cold ambient (20 F) HC FTP limits proposed (2010-2015

phase-in depending on vehicle weight)– Harmonization with ARB evaporative emission standards

proposed (2009 or 2010 implementation depending on vehicle weight)

• EPA provides Tier 2 LDD with relief on US06 and high altitude NOx limits for 2007-2009 model years only– Higher 4K US06 NMHC+NOx limit in exchange for lower

full useful life SFTP limit– Higher high altitude NOx limit for Bin 7 & 8 compliant

vehicles in exchange for Bin 5 PM levels

Recent EPA/ARB Light-duty Regulatory Activities

• ARB expected to finalize additional OBD-II revisions in 2006– Continue with catalyst NOx monitoring threshold at

1.75 X std.– Additional monitors for rear oxygen sensors and A/F

cylinder imbalance• ARB expected to finalize MD diesel OBD requirements

based on adopted HD diesel OBD regs. in 2006• ARB expected to finalize full useful life SFTP

requirements in 2006 or early 2007– ARB test program to begin shortly with late model

LEV 2 vehicles including SULEVs & PZEVs

Number in ( ) is reduction versus estimated 2009 baseline

• CA LEV 3– Vehicles already viewed as very clean but additional

reductions need to meet ambient ozone limits– Goal could be to push all light-duty vehicles into

SULEV/PZEV categories in the post-2010 timeframe– Rulemaking likely in 2007 or 2008 with

implementation starting as early as 2011– Cost effectiveness a key criteria

• ARB ZEV Program Review Targeted for 2007• EPA Tier 3

– New federal ozone standards, concerns with air toxics, and continued interest by states to opt into California’s program will add pressure for further tightening of emissions from light-duty vehicles

Future U.S. Light-duty Regulations

MECA PZEV Test Program Nearing Completion:Advanced Emission Technology Demonstration

• Goal - PZEV/SULEV tailpipe emissions on two large light-duty trucks:

2004 Ford F150, 5.4L Triton V8 2004 GMC Yukon Denali, 6.0L Vortec V8

• Employ cold-start engine calibration strategies with advanced TWC systems (e.g., CC+UF systems employing high cell density substrates with advanced catalysts) to achieve ultra-low FTP emissions

• Age advanced systems with aggressive accelerated engine aging schedule & re-test for FTP performance– RAT-A based exothermic schedule with CC max. bed

temperatures of 970-980 C– 220 h of engine-aging for each system

• Estimate system cost differential for advanced TWCs

Heavy-duty Euro VI - Current Status • European Commission ‘shopping list’ of HD Euro VI issues.• Detailed Commission questionnaire on HD Euro VI

technologies, performances and costs issued - AECC has responded– Questionnaire developed 6 scenarios for diesel and gas engines– NOx: 0 – 75% reduction from Euro V– PM: 0 – 90% reduction from Euro V– THC: 0 – 27% reduction from Euro V (gas engines)

• Initial discussion meeting with Euro VI validation panel held end January 2006.

• HD PMP protocol and inter-lab testing still under discussion.• Desk Office for the dossier is known at DG Enterprise &

Industry.

• EC draft proposal expected end 2006 or early 2007• Anticipated content:

– Introduction of World Harmonised Global Technical Regulations (WHDC (transient & steady-state tests; WH-OBD; WH-OCE) with NTE limits.

• As sole test procedure or ETC/ESC still permitted?• Aligned with US2010-equivalent limits?• Possible differences in cold-start weighting, soak period and

perhaps filter materials between US procedures and EU.– Introduction of PMP improved particulate mass measurement and

particle number measurement– Option of full-flow or partial-flow dilution

• AECC HD demonstration programme to support Euro VI & PMP processes

Heavy-duty Euro VI - Current Status

AECC Heavy-duty VI Test Program -Objectives

• Support strong limits for Euro VI, requiring both NOx and PM control.

• Demonstrate effectiveness of emissions control technology under all driving conditions.

• Show equivalency of current European and new World-harmonised cycles for a modern, low-NOx engine.

• Provide data to support inclusion of PMP (including P#) to ensure continuing fitment of DPFs.

• Provide data on equivalency of full-flow and partial-flow dilution at low particulate emissions.

• Demonstrate applicability of the technology for non-road applications.

• Demonstrate control of NO2 tailpipe emissions.

AECC Heavy-duty Test Program - Outline

• Main testing to be completed by end 2006.• Base engine: low-engine-out NOx (close to half of Euro V)

meeting US2007 (when fitted with DPF).• Fitment with SCR+DPF system and SCR dosing system

appropriate for low NOx level.• Calibration of SCR dosing system.• Testing to World-harmonised (WHTC, WHSC) and current

European (ETC, ESC) as minimum, plus FTP, Non-road transient cycle and possibly Japanese cycle.

• PMP particle mass and number measurements comparison with current European procedure.

• Comparison of full-flow and partial-flow dilution on WHTC.• NO2 measured tailpipe, pre-SCR and tailpipe.

2007 On-Road HDE Standards• 2007 compliance: EGR + catalyzed filters that include

active regeneration strategies• EPA continues to report that 2007 implementation is on

track• EPA has put in place several “flexibilities” to assist

implementation:– Shifting ULSD retail compliance date by 45 days to

October 15, 2006– Adjusting fuel sulfur testing tolerance to 15 + 3 ppm

through October 2008 (18 ppm S fuel classified as ULSD)

– Allowing an 80,000 mile filter maintenance interval for many vocational truck applications (150,000 mile maintenance interval for long haul trucks)

• Smooth 2007 implementation important to hold on to 2010

Related EPA & ARB HD Actions

• ARB modified heavy-duty smoke inspection program to include compliance with EPA heavy-duty certification standards for vehicles entering from Canada or Mexico

• ARB adopted threshold-based HD OBD requirements in July 2005– Phase-in from 2010 thru 2016

• 2010: 1 rating of 1 engine family (“extrapolated OBD” for other ratings)

• 2013: all ratings of 2010 engine family + 1-2 additional ratings (“extrapolated OBD” for all other engines/ratings except for PM filters which use interim thresholds through 2015 for most engines)

• 2016: all engines– EPA expected to follow with HD OBD NPRM shortly

• ARB harmonized bus engine standards with EPA 2007/2010• EPA finalized in-use HD testing program run by OEMs using PEMS

– Pilot program underway to shake-out issues

2010 On-Road HDE Standards – 0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx• EPA expects OEMs to down-select technologies shortly

– Likely to include combinations of advanced engine technologies with NOx emission control

– OEMs showing strong interest in SCR– Engine technology remains a significant unknown

• NTE and OBD compliance will be important determiners for technology selection

• Issues concerning urea infrastructure for SCR under discussion with EPA – solutions may show up in light-duty sector first– Multiple user warnings followed by shut down during

refueling if insufficient urea on-board• Strong resistance to 2010 limits expected from truckers: fuel

economy vs. emissions arguments
