Real Driving Emissions 2015

Date: 27-Oct-15 to 29-Oct-15
Location: Novotel Berlin am Tiergarten / Berlin / Germany
Category: Technology Conferences & Trade Fairs

Compared to tests under laboratory conditions, light duty vehicles have substantially higher emission when actually being on the road. The European Commission is reacting to this and introduces a mandatory test procedure to be applied for the type approval of light-duty vehicles by 2017. These Real Driving Emissions (RDE) are measured on the road by a Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS). This new procedure implies significant challenges for OEMs. Exhaust control systems must perform under a broad range of different operating conditions, the logistics of type-approval processes are forced to be restructured and new measurement technology has to be applied.



This conference will review the current status of the introduction of RDE test procedures and its related technologies in the European Union. It is open for specialists from the field of exhaust control technologies, emission certification and type-approval, as well as regulation experts and researchers. It brings together practitioners from the industry with representatives from academic institutions and regulatory bodies to discuss the current state of affairs and find solutions for the industry before and beyond the expected introduction of RDE testing procedures in 2017.
