accounts for the majority

of transport emissions.

CO2 Emissions from Transport, EU-28

Transport in the EU-28 is responsible for ~20% of GHG emissions.

-- Cars and light duty vehicles (vans) ≈ 70% -- Heavy duty trucks, buses and coaches ≈ 30%

LDVs established certification, monitoring and targets since long time How about HDVs?

Data source: European Commission Transport pocketbook 2015

Page 5: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

In May 2014 the Commission adopted a Communication entitled "Strategy for reducing HDV fuel consumption and CO2 emissions" COM(2014)285. Reference to HDV CO2 certification and reporting via simulation.

HDV CO2 policy context (1/2)

Roadmap for the Energy Union (Feb 15) sets the timetable: Establishing a monitoring and reporting system for HDVs with view to improving purchase information: 2016-2017

Page 6: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

In July 2016 the Commission issued Strategy for Low-Emissions Mobility "Given the average lifetime of a lorry of about 10 years, vehicles sold in

2020 will still be on European roads in 2030. In order to be able to make

swift progress different options for standards will be considered,

including for engines only or for the whole vehicles, with the objective of

curbing emissions well before 2030.”

HDV CO2 policy context (2/2)

Developments: •  DG-GROW proposed Legislative Act voted by MS in TCMV (11/05/17) regarding

Certification. Amendment to Regulation 595/2009. 2nd round is expected in 2nd half

2017, including the verification procedure and possibly other provisions.

•  A 2nd legislation (co-decision) for monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions and FC is

necessary. DG Clima proposal adopted by Comm. (31/5/17) to be discussed in Council

and EP.

•  Possible first reporting year 2019 à possible first monitoring year 2020

VECTO basics

Page 8: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

- Low, medium, high, long, short cab etc

- 2,3,4,5,6 axles, 4x2, 4x4, 6x2, 6x4, 6x6 etc

- Different tires for each axle, single/twin tires etc

- Same engine but different gear boxes/axles ect

- Rigid, semi-trailer, tractor, coach, bus, citybus etc

- Any combination mentioned above

HDVs are more complicated than LDVs

Simulation tool to calculate both, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from the whole vehicle Developed by the Commission (DG CLIMA and JRC) with TUG and Ricardo support over the last six years Initially in Visual basic, migrated to C# in latest versions

Page 11: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

Scope of VECTO & accompanying regulation

Serve for all possible policy steps including:

•  Monitoring, reporting and certification

•  Improve market forces (e.g. by comparable customer information)

•  Labelling

•  Improve/help foot-printing schemes

•  Give a reliable real world picture of the fuel consumption/CO2

emissions – accuracy ~ 95 %

•  Fit for the future (include new technologies)

•  Minimize burden on OEMs

VECTO offers a declaration mode, where all generic data and the test cycle are allocated automatically as soon as the vehicle class is defined.

An engineering mode where the user can select and change

all input data to allow recalculation of test data e.g. for model validation.

VECTO's modes

Page 14: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

In declaration mode: •  CO2 emissions automatically calculated for all CO2 test

cycles allocated to the vehicle and reference payloads •  Results are given in g/km, g/cm3-km and g/ton-km or g/

pass-km In Engineering mode: •  CO2 and fuel consumption for all the cycles/conditions

chosen by the user •  All energy related quantities •  Respective time series

Up- and down-shift polygons

Default-Option: skipping of gears: Criteria: 1) rpm is still over DownShift-rpm and 2) torque reserve is above a user-defined value (e.g. 20%) Additional parameter for avoidance of ocillating shifts: minimum time between two gear shifts (e.g. 3s)

•  AMT = MT with different polygons and early upshifting

•  Skipping gears possible based on torque reserve criteria, starting from gear >1

First technology scan exercise – main findings

•  Engine efficiency improvement potential is relatively limited in the long run at

least for conventional vehs. Peak efficiencies expected to reach 50% in the next

decade.

•  More benefits on reducing energy demand in absolute terms and per transport

work unit.

•  Waste energy (exhaust gas enthalpy, brake) may, depending on application, be

used for reducing auxiliary/peripheral energy consumption. Fuel price & payback

times are issues at the moment.

•  Aerodynamics and weight most significant contributors in international and

national delivery applications. Important improvements are possible.

•  A minimum hybridization level (eg BERS, supercapacitor applications, PV cells,

serial hybridization) might make sense in city applications (payback times?) or

for powering vehicle and engine auxiliaries

•  With current battery technology, electrification seems difficult

•  A lot of investment in driver aids, trip management, route optimization etc

Summary

Page 47: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

•  First wave of CO2 legislation on certification voted in May 2017

•  First covers delivery trucks of Classes 4,5,9 and 10

•  VECTO simulation platform to be used for CO2 quantification

•  Component based approach / several tests covering component performance

•  Monitoring is intended to start by 2018 for new registrations

•  On a second wave other classes including coaches and possibly city buses.

•  There are appear to be certain established technologies that can offer significant potential for improvement (low hanging fruits)

Summary

Page 48: Joint Research Centre - European Commission · Joint Research Centre the European Commission's in-house science service Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

Follow - up

•  CO2 targets are being considered and relevant work on-going

•  EC runs an Impact Assessment study to investigate possible CO2 targets for post 2020 period

•  VECTO to be expanded to additional HD vehicle classes (eg buses, coaches, remaining truck classes)

•  Maximize technology coverage (Predictive Cruise Control, Waste Heat Recovery, Hybrids, new AT gearboxes) in the pipeline

•  Emphasis should be given in realistically capturing the benefits of certain technologies that can offer important gains and enable their wide-scale introduction in the European market in the mid term future.

•  Need to consider how to handle long term, more complex developments which may exceed the capacity of current tools (eg automated vehicles, platoons, etc)
