Description
New emissions regulations have technical challenges to overcome. This project aimed to tackle these challenges.
The consortium partners worked together to reach the goal of greening diesel vehicles. They evaluated the best possible innovative and hybrid solutions. These solutions contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
The goal was to achieve emission levels within the necessary limits. These limits include the European Directive 2004/26/EC and further upcoming regulations.
