COPERT

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

• Import from previous COPERT versions fixed

Methodological

• Updated emission factors for Euro 5 diesel PCs and LCVs (N1-I) for NOx, VOC and CO, new category added (with software update)
• Updated naming for Euro 6 PCs and LCVs (Euro 6 a/b/c, Euro 6 d-temp, and Euro 6d) and HDVs (Euro VI A/B/C and Euro VI D/E)
• Updated emission factors for Euro 6 PCs and LCVs. Affected pollutants:
  • • PCs
      • Petrol: CO, PM, NOx, VOC
      • Petrol Hybrid: PM
      • LPG & CNG ~ Petrol: NOx, VOC
      • Diesel: CO
    • LCVs
      • Petrol: PM
      • Diesel: CO (N1-I only)

Software

• Fixed a bug for software updater
• Could not open file from previous version with Version 5.3.23

Software

• Introduced Command Line Interface

Methodological

• New Emission Factors for mopeds 4-stroke.
• New Emission Factors for motorcycles.
• Revised evaporation factors for Euro 6d-temp and Euro 6d passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
• Revised Euro 6 LCV NOx emissions factors.
• Calculation of the fossil fuel fraction in biodiesel.

Software

• Fixed bug with Export Energy Breakdown.
• Fixed bug with Petrol Hybrid vehicles. Cold Emissions now are in line with the corresponding PC Petrol vehicles.
• Corrected Implied Emission Factor calculation algorithm when performing an energy balance.
• Added new UI at the bottom right for the configuration of the COPERT 5 file.
• Cumulative mileage

Minor

• Corrected CH4 Hot Emission Factor for PC, LCV vehicles.
• Minor Bug Fixes.

Minor

• Small changes to the upper speed limits of the hot emission functions to avoid negative values (HDV).

Major

• ETBE added to list of fuels with an effect on:
  •            CO2 emissions calculation.
  •            Evaporation emissions calculation.
• New Feature: CRF export.
• New L-category vehicles added (ATVs and diesel mini cars).
• Updated evaporation factors for mopeds and motorcycles.
• Updated CO2 correction methodology taking into account the yearly effect.
• Updated NMVOC profile for evaporation emissions.
• New road abrasion non-exhaust emissions.
• Corrected NFR export:
  •              Differentiation between 2-stroke and 4-stroke vehicles regarding emissions from lubricant consumption.
  •              Inclusion
