RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
|
|
14:10
|
USING REAL-WORLD RATINGS TO VALIDATE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND DRIVE RAPID IMPROVEMENTS IN URBAN AIR QUALITY
Nick Molden, Founder and CEO, Emissions Analytics
- How Euro 5 and 6 diesels contribute to the air pollution problem, and how RDE and WLTC, together with retrofits and scrappage schemes, will address the problem
- How the EQUA Index rates vehicle emissions on an independent and real-world basis, and how London publishes the EQUA Index to drive behaviour beyond its proposed ULEZ
- Future prospects for different powertrain types
