Smart emissions control
Our solutions use geofencing and electronic horizon technology to enable hybrid drivers to benefit from improved fuel economy, whilst also ensuring fewer harmful emissions are produced when in low emissions zones.
30% reduction in harmful emissions and a 7% fuel consumption improvement
Smart emissions control adapts hybrid vehicle energy management systems in real time and changes vehicle behaviour in ringfenced low and ultra-low emission zones. Demonstrating up to a 30% reduction in harmful emissions and a 7% fuel consumption improvement, we can directly improve air quality whilst also improving vehicle efficiency.
Local councils can improve urban air quality in ultra-low emission zones with our solution, whilst also unlocking critical data about hybrid vehicle operations and performance. Our solution can ensure compliance and also generate revenue from the huge number of plug-in electric hybrid drivers who utilise it.
Vehicle OEMs need to adapt in order to comply with the increase in zero emission operations in cities worldwide. Leveraging real world data to drive operational improvements will allow OEMs to bridge the gap to fully zero emissions solutions. Embedding Ricardo's geofencing solution will also further improve performance dynamically for end-users.
Fleet operators are facing increasing prices for fuel costs and logistics. Our smart emissions control technology provides a practical solution to increase fuel efficiency via the energy control management system. By utilising a smartphone application, it is possible to retrofit the solution into existing fleets to realise the benefits immediately.
