Comparison of our estimated emission factors with those from the dynamometer study of May et al (2014) (May et al. 2014).
| Vehicle Type | Study | Average Emission Factor [95% c.i.] | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO (g/kg) | NOx (g/kg) | BC (g/kg)* | ||
| Light duty | This study | 22.4 [19.7–25.0] | 3.2 [2.8–3.6] | 0.016 [0.011–0.021] |
| May et.al. (51 LEV vehicles)** | 26.4 [19.1.–33.7] | 2.8 [1.8–3.9] | 0.017 [0.013–0.022] | |
| Heavy duty | This study | 14.8 [9.9–21.9] | 18.9 [8.0–35.3] | 0.40 [0.29–0.58] |
| May et.al. (2 vehicles with a DPF)*** | 0.26 | 8.2 | 0.001 | |
| May et al. (3 vehicles without a DPF)** | 8.8 [5.6–12.0] | 23.6 [17.2–30.1] | 0.18 [0.13–0.24] | |
May et al report EC values;
confidence intervals estimated from computed standard errors;
confidence intervals were not estimated due to the small number of samples
