Research into NOx emission behaviour of a Suzuki Vitara Euro 6b diesel
report
In an emission study reported by the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW) in July 2017
[RDW 2017], the first exploratory emission tests for the Suzuki Vitara Euro 6b diesel
were conducted. The results gave rise to further research. In 2018, the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW) commissioned TNO to carry out an emission study of the Suzuki Vitara Euro 6b diesel. The goal of this follow-up study was to identify and describe the NOx emission behaviour of the Suzuki Vitara, measured using 2 different vehicles with 2 engine calibrations (indicated with engine calibration 1: before the service update and engine calibration 2: after the service update). To this end, several partial objectives were formulated and emission measurements were taken on an RDW test track, on a chassis dynamometer and on public roads. When taken together, the results of the performed measurements provide a good overview of the emission behaviour of the tested vehicle and the differences in emissions before and after the update of the engine calibration software. 24 Partial conclusions based on the performed measurements have been included below. Some partial conclusions can be characterised as findings.
