EMISIA will participate in the kick off meeting of the VERA project, taking place in Thessaloniki on 25-26 January 2023.

VERA is a project funded by Horizon Europe, with the main objective of developing, demonstrating and optimizing retrofit solutions for road vehicles and metro/rail applications, aiming to achieve maximum emission reduction and ensuring adaptability and low cost.

We are looking forward to a successful project, and to working with our partners to make transport cleaner and more sustainable.

The project entitled “Study on New Mobility Patterns in European Cities” funded by the EC DG MOVE has successfully come to an end after 3 years in December 2022. EMISIA participated in this project by developing a consistent road transport dataset for quantitative analysis.

Key findings of the study are available here.

More information on the study is available here.

The final report of the transport dataset is available here. (more…)

A major update has been performed in COPERT data, considering all recent statistical information available.

Main updates compared to previous versions:

• Full-time series 1990-2020,
• New alternative powertrains and corresponding EFs added ---> 760 vehicles in total,
• 104 import sheets for each country.

We kindly invite both new and existing COPERT users to participate in the annual COPERT workshop. It will be held in webinar format on 18-19 October via Microsoft Teams.

The aim of the workshop is to present COPERT 5.6, the new version of the road-transport emission inventory software model, which has been released in September 2022. The workshop will involve technical discussions on COPERT 5 methodology, as well as hands-on sessions on your personal computers. COPERT 5.6 is available for download and installation by participants through the COPERT webpage. (more…)

The list of updates can be found below:

Methodological

• Revision of non-exhaust emission factors
• Updated emission factors of CO, NOx, VOC and SPN23 for Euro 6 LPG passenger cars
• Updated cold parameters of CO, NOx, VOC for Euro 6 PCs and LCVs
• Introduction of cold emissions of CO, NOx and VOC for Euro V and VI diesel HDVs and buses
• New vehicle category and emission factors added
  • Battery electric passenger cars

Software

• Trip length and duration per vehicle category
• Improved labels of forms and headers

EMISIA participated with a transport reviewer in the 2022 review of Air Pollutant Emissions Inventories submitted by Parties under the NEC Directive, 20-24 June 2022, Brussels. More information on the review process can be found here.

Professor Zissis Samaras joined the Expert Panel Discussion on "A European regulatory perspective towards a Euro 7 proposal". More information can be found here.
