The next major wave of European vehicle emissions regulation presents a significant challenge for the automotive and commercial vehicle industries.
Our control and calibration team have been at the forefront of developing methodologies and techniques to measure emissions to Euro 7 emissions regulations and have actively helped to shape the Euro 7/VII legislation through R&D projects. The introduction of Onboard Monitoring (OBM) and stronger anti-tampering requirements for emissions control systems is a key pillar of the EU7/VII legislation. Our engineers are supporting clients to define the system requirements and develop control systems to meet expected legislative requirements.
Our ICE and Calibration engineering experts are supporting customers in readiness for the new emissions standards by assessing current products and development of future products to meet these standards. This includes future emissions testing, hardware selection support through simulation and testing, turn-key OBM development as well as sensitivity studies to control new pollutants.
