Transportation emissions are one of the major causes for global warming and bad air quality. MEAPS develops new measurement techniques to quantify realistic estimates of gaseous and particulate phase emissions from several vehicle categories. Moreover, project focuses on better nanoparticle sampling and detection from road traffic and non-road mobile machinery system renewal, the role of renewable fuels, and the potential effects of these. Especially, the assessment of the direct and indirect climatic effects as well as air quality impact of aerosols originating from transport requires detailed information of the nature of emission development. Project combines an expertise ranging from construction new instruments, understanding the emission factors from single vehicles, and parameterization of experimental results for further use. This approach can provide new understanding how different vehicle development scenarios will affect our future.
