NITROUS OXIDE (N2O) EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLES

Assessment of the impact of vehicle emissions on the global environment requires accurate data concerning nitrous oxide, N2O, emissions. "Real-world" N2O emissions from road vehicles in a tunnel in Wuppertal, Germany are reported here, together with "laboratory" emission measurements conducted at the Ford Motor Company using a chassis dynamometer with a standard driving cycle for 22 different cars and trucks. Consistent results were obtained from both approaches, suggesting a good approximation of the average emission factor.
