Ntziachristos, L. (author), Papadimitriou, G. (author), Ligterink, N. (author), Hausberger, S. (author)Diesel NOx emissions have been at the forefront of research and regulation scrutiny as a result of failures of late vehicle technologies to deliver on-road emissions reductions. The current study aims at identifying the actual emissions levels of late light duty vehicle technologies, including Euro 5 and Euro 6 ones. Mean NOx emission factor...article 2016

Reisch, L.A. (author), Cohen, M.J. (author), Thøgersen, J.B. (author), Tukker, A. (author)While the field of sustainable consumption research is relatively young, it has already attracted scholars from all corners of the social sciences. The time has come to identify a new research agenda as trends in sustainable consumption research seem to suggest the dawning of a new phase. Not only does research need to be guided, but sustainable...article 2016
