This paper presents a review of sustainable emission test (SET) study (DEKRA 2015) and other facts important for doing periodic technical inspections (PTI) in Europe. It is important to ensure that vehicles on European roads are maintained to a high degree of technical roadworthiness, taking into account the latest developments in vehicle and measurement technology, and the need for economically viable solutions. For modern technology vehicles and engines with on-board diagnostics (OBD), and after-treatment systems such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel particulate filters (DPFs), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), etc., there is need to improve the regulations which apply to the PTI. The specific aim of the mentioned study is to investigate the possibility of defining an improved test procedure for the measurement of particulate matter (PM), to be included in PTI tests for modern diesel cars with different types of exhaust after-treatment system. In addition, an improved test has been investigated to measure CO emissions from modern petrol cars.
