Background

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has been leading several multi-agency research programs to characterize vehicular emissions. The completed and ongoing emissions research are listed as follows.

Vehicle Emissions Research Programs

• Research of Physiochemical and Toxicological Properties of Vehicle Emissions
• Phase I: CNG and Diesel Transit Buses
• Phase II: CNG Buses, Heavy-Duty Diesel Trucks, and Light-Duty Vehicles
• Particulate Measurement Program (PMP)
• Light-Duty Vehicle (JRC "Golden Vehicle")
• Heavy-Duty Vehicle I: Portable in-use Reference PM Measurement
• Heavy-Duty Vehicle II: Diesel Solid Nanoparticle Emissions
• Light-Duty Gasoline Vehicle (LDGV) High-PM Emitters
• On-Road Vehicle Emissions Measurements with Remote Sensing Devices (RSD)
• On-Road Measurement of Light-Duty Gasoline and Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle Emissions
