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
