European Project on Portable Emissions Measurement Systems: "EU-PEMS" Project: Status and Activity Report 2004-2005 - Softcover

The European Commission through DG ENTR in co-operation with DG JRC launched in January 2004 a co-operative research programme to study the feasibility of portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) with a view to their application in Europe for in-use conformity (IUC) checking of heavy-dutyvehicles. A six month planning phase between January and June 2004 concluded with the closure of the Call for Expression of interest published by DG ENTR. The technical and experimental activities started in August 2004 to study the use of PEMS systems and their potential application for on-road emissions measurement on heavy-duty vehicles.
