Horizon Prizes for the Cleanest Engines

26


Horizon prize for the cleanest engine

Challenge • Helping the development of technologies to reduce

emissions of pollutants in real driving conditions

Scope • Two prizes addressing (A) the existing fleet

(retrofittable technology) and (B) future vehicles

Expected impact • Reduce noxious emissions

Indicative budget: EUR 1,5 (A) + 3,5 (B) Mio Target audience: individuals, SMEs, research centres, universities, suppliers of components, car manufacturers

27


Rationale • Air quality is not improving fast enough, particularly as far

as NO2 is concerned • Diesel engines are the main culprit • Regulation for cars and vans imposes performance on test

cycle, but real emissions are much worse • Real driving emissions regulations are coming, but will take

time to have an impact • Initial regulations will be relatively lenient • To improve air quality and protect citizens' health:

Something needs to be done for the existing fleet Engines with really clean exhausts might be needed in the long term, even if electrification will grow (for hybrids, for instance)

28


The retrofit prize

• Aims at diesel vehicles • Based on Real Driving Emissions testing • Aims at giving local authorities a tool to clean the air while

not penalising citiziens, in particular poorer ones • Targets are equal or better than current new cars in several

respects • Little CO2 penalty, or even small improvements possible • Needs support from local authorities to ensure there is a

market

29


The future engine prize

• Aims at both gasoline and diesel vehicles • Based on Real Driving Emissions testing • Aims at demonstrating what is the best achievable performance

and increase competition among scientists, technology providers and car manufacturers on environmental performance

• Addresses all known dangerous pollutants, also ones currently not regulated, with stricter targets than the retrofit prize

• Ambitious targets also on CO2 • THE IDEAL ENGINE!
