Analysis of the ECO Test Results for Vehicles in the Republic of Croatia

This paper presents the classification of engines for the ECO test requirement in the technical inspection of vehicles. The types of harmful components in the raw emissions of internal combustion engines are listed and described, as well as the possibilities of their reduction. In accordance with classification of engines for the ECO test requirements, the allowed values of harmful components according to the legally stipulated standards in Croatia are given. The study included the number of vehicles that passed the ECO test at technical inspections in 2004, and these were then statistically processed and analyzed according to type of vehicle, classification of car engine for the ECO test requirements, and year of production.
