Overview

This seminar will offer a unique opportunity to hear about how thought leaders in the automotive industry are adapting to comply with changing legislation.

Gain insight into government activity from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and hear industry specialists reveal the impact that changing emissions regulation has had on their processes.

Join sessions on core technical issues including testing for hybrid vehicles, the challenges in practicality and efficiency of real driving emissions testing, and the use of RDE and WLTP data after testing. Issues surrounding the standardisation of equipment and procedure as well as best practice shall also be explored.

Why attend this seminar?

Understand the wider context of air quality regulation and government efforts to reduce air pollution
Hear directly from OEMs, tier one manufacturers and testing specialists about changes to regulation and the technical impact on engineers
Network with thought leaders in emissions testing and compliance and gain insight in best practice
Engage in technical roundtable discussions on the wider impact of evolving regulation

Key programme highlights:

Learn more about the results from the CONCAWE diesel emissions project from Ricardo UK
Receive insight into simulated real driving emissions testing of plug-in hybrid electric powertrains from Intertek
Find out more about using real-world ratings to validate vehicle performance from Emissions Analytics
Understand the practicality, test success and efficiency challenges of operating a real driving emissions test service with HORIBA MIRA
Take part in an interactive panel discussion on developing best practice with insight from Ford Motors, Millbrook and Ricardo UK

Key speakers include:

Tom Slater, Deputy Head, Joint Air Quality Unit, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
Marcus Davies, Emissions and Core Calibration Manager, Ford Motors
Jon Andersson, Manager, After-treatment and Chemical Analysis Department, GTE Emissions Measurements and Standards, Ricardo UK
Nick Molden, Founder and CEO, Emissions Analytics
Tom Moakes, Project Engineer, HORIBA MIRA
