Real Driving Emissions Testing of Vehicles Powered by Compressed Natural Gas

The paper presents results of the road tests of exhaust gas emissions of vehicles of different emission classes (Euro 4 and Euro 5, with different mileage), fuelled with compressed natural gas. The tests of exhaust emissions were conducted on parts of the road with different characteristics of the traffic intensity. For each phase of the tests, the characteristics of the test run and the value of exhaust gas emissions were determined. To measure the exhaust emission the Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS) was used.
