Large Scale Particulate Filter Demonstration Project in Odense

Particulate emissions, especially ultra-fine particulates, from diesel vehicles constitute the major traffic related environment and health-problem in larger cities today. Particulate filters are a promising solution to this problem.

The Danish Road Safety and Transport Agency, in cooperation with the Municipality of Odense, has initiated a large-scale project with the objective to mount filters on some 125 heavy-duty vehicles in daily operation in Odense, to obtain operating experiences and environmental data and to demonstrate the technology.
