COPERT

Methodological

• Revision of degradation methodology
• 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

Bugs

• Corrected PM and SPN23 hot emission factors of HDVs and

Methodological

• Introduction of Solid Particle Number (SPN23) emission factors for all vehicle categories
• Updated PM exhaust emission factors. Affected vehicle categories:
  • PCs (Euro 5, Euro 6 a/b/c, Euro 6 d-temp, and Euro 6d)
    • Petrol
    • Petrol Hybrid
    • Petrol PHEV ~ Petrol
    • Diesel
    • Diesel PHEV ~ Diesel
    • LPG Bifuel ~ Petrol
    • CNG Bifuel ~ Petrol
  • LCVs (Euro 5, Euro 6 a/b/c, Euro 6 d-temp, and Euro 6d)
  • HDVs and Busses (Euro V, Euro VI A/B/C and Euro VI D/E)
  • L-category vehicles (Euro 4 and Euro 5)
    • Motorcycles 4-stroke < 250 cm³
    • Motorcycles 4-stroke 250 – 750

Software

• Upgrade of the Energy breakdown form. In this version the energy consumption (and GHG emissions) of all primary fuels (incl. FAME, ETBE) are calculated, and the results are further broken down based on fuel’s origin (fossil or bio).
• The syntax of the command line version of Copert (CLI) has slightly changed. The user’s command must include the following:
  [PATH_TO_COPERT]
-i [PATH_TO_IMPORT]
-oC [PATH_TO_CONVERT_FILE]
-oEF [PATH_TO_EMISSIONS_EXPORT]
  

Bugs

  • • PCs
      • Petrol: CO, PM, NOx, VOC
      • Petrol Hybrid: PM
      • LPG & CNG ~ Petrol: NOx, VOC
      • Diesel: CO
    • LCVs
      • Petrol: PM
