Bodies and trailers - development of CO2 emissions determination procedure

closed

CO2 emissions of HDVs are highly dependent on the body superstructure. HDVs are currently certified with standard bodies and trailers according to Reg. (EU) 2017/2400. In order to better reflect to the reality it is the intention to use real bodies and trailers when determining the CO2 emissions. There are different methodology options that have to be analysed and evaluated by the contractor to have a feasible method for that purpose. The appropriateness of the proposed methodology have to be proven by performing tests or simulations. The subject of this contract is only to develop a proper methodology for determining the effects of real bodies and trailers on CO2 emissions. In addition gathering feedback from stakeholders are fundamental therefore holding workshops and/or meetings, where the progress and result of the work will be presented, is part of the contract.
