Localization of Light-Duty Vehicle Emission Factor Estimation Based on MOVES

Abstract:

With consideration of the differences of vehicle emissions limits standards and testing driving cycles between China and the United States， a method of MOVES（motor vehicle emissions simulator） localization is proposed， and a case study of Shanghai is made. The result reveals that although the vehicle emission control in China lags behind， it develops rapidly. For example， the emission characteristic years of light-duty vehicles in the United States corresponding to the carbon monoxide emission limit standards of China I to China VIa are 1995， 1999， 2002， 2007， 2010 and 2012. The estimated light duty vehicle emissions factors are compared with the real test results.
