Call
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should assess in detail engines emissions in Real Driving Emissions (RDE)-compliant testing conditions (based on currently used fuels) leading to volatile and semi-volatile and secondary particulate, taking into account the wide available literature and results from projects issuing from topics LC-MG-1-1-2018 and GV-02-2016, prioritise them according to available information and assess their health impact with relevant modelling and in vitro and in vivo testing.
After assessing the risks associated to each emission, proposals should define a robust and transparent measurement and modelling system in order to determine an equivalent total particles emissions index for each engine encompassing all these emissions, to complement the direct solid particles emissions count currently in use to better quantify the total externalities of combustion engines in all transport fields and related fuels.
In line with the Union’s strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation, international cooperation is encouraged.
