Title: Research and Analysis of the Real-Time Interaction Between Performance and Smoke Emission of a Diesel Vehicle †
Keywords: diesel vehicle emissions, the performance of a diesel vehicle, the smoke emissions of a diesel vehicle

Abstract: In recent decades, environmental requirements for reducing the toxic components emitted from vehicle exhausts have decreased drastically. Technologies for after-treatment of diesel vehicle emissions are being improved continuously in order to meet increasingly stringent regulations. Passenger cars are a significant source of air pollution, especially in urban areas. The EU has decided to phase out internal combustion engines. Stricter Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing procedures have also been introduced, aiming to assess the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particle number (PN). The present work investigates the interaction between performance and smoke emissions of a diesel vehicle on a pre-established route in an urban environment with an everyday (normal) driving style. The results showed that when the vehicle is technically sound and meets its technical specifications, smoke emissions are within normal limits.
