Emissions from a Modern Euro 6d Diesel Plug-In Hybrid

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are promoted as an alternative to conventional meet European decarbonisation and air quality targets. However, several studies have shown that gasoline PHEVs present similar criteria particulate emissions their counterparts. In the work, we investigate environmental performance of a modern plug-in Diesel-fuelled vehicle meeting Euro 6d standard under large variety driving patterns, ambient temperatures, battery states charge (SOC). Emissions regulated pollutants, currently unregulated CO2 were measured in laboratory following various on-road routes. The vehicle, whose range was 82 km, presented below 6 regulatory limits all different cycles performed at 23 °C tests SOC. lower than average Diesel tested JRC 2020–2021 for SOC tested, exception being solid particle number >23 nm (SPN23) comparable Moreover, obtained with high voltage fully charged during those minimum entire test (ca. 91 km) well urban section 36 km).
