We set up Emissions Analytics four years ago to understand the differences in emissions and fuel economy between the laboratory test and real-world driving conditions in Europe and the United States.

The end of the road for dirty diesels?
We have been listening to the proposals to discourage ‘dirty diesels’ by cities across Europe, and read with interest the statement from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), speaking up in favour of the diesel car. In our opinion, the evidence from real-on-road tests speaks for itself.
Weighing the cost of a new van
EA is in the business of improving the quality and availability of data in the automotive sector and so we will soon be introducing on-road testing for light commercial vehicles in the UK, helping consumers make informed decisions about which vehicle to buy with an easy to use miles per gallon calculator.

Real Driving Emissions – are you ready?
Emissions Analytics was recently asked to write an article for Automotive World’s Megatrends magazine. This month’s newsletter is a summary of that article which considers the potential impact of the proposed changes to the New European Drive Cycle.

February ’14 – NOx in the News
In the press last week was the news that the European Commission has launched legal proceedings against the UK for failing to deal with air pollution.
Speed Demonisation
Changing speed limits on the UK’s roads is hardly out of the news at the moment. For instance, various London boroughs, including Camden and Islington, have recently announced a reduction in the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph to improve road safety. In 2011, the government briefly toyed with the idea of increasing motorway speed limits from 70mph to 80mph.
