N2 - This study presents emission results measured with
renewable and synthetic diesel fuels. Three engines and
five city buses were studied. The efficiency of diesel
oxidation catalyst combined to particle oxidation
catalyst
(POCr) was measured with two engines. The studied
diesel fuels were EN590, FAME, HVO and GTL. In most
cases all regulated emissions decreased with HVO and
GTL fuels compared to conventional EN590 diesel fuel.
With FAME, the NOx emissions were higher compared to
EN590, but other emissions were reduced. Alternative
fuels had a positive effect on emissions, which are
considered harmful to human health.
