This project has issued 388 vehicle emissions compliance certificates, audited periodically on the Compliance of Production tests reported by manufacturers and cooperated with EPA to carry out new vehicle selective audit tests. As to the In-Use Motor Vehicle Recall and Correction test, 10 Stage 4 emissions standards compliance engine families of gasoline vehicles were selected and tested to verify their compliance and emissions conditions close to their new vehicle certification test results, and three manufacturers has performed self recall and correction procedures. To ensure the compliance of emissions standards for small production volume or in-use imported gasoline vehicles, this project has provided test results periodically to EPA as control measure reference. To promote electronic certification process, this project has established the interface of electronic certification application fee collection system, to solve the problems of fee collection and mailing process for manufacturers; this project also established the new vehicle selective audit test/ recall and correction test electronic system to facilitate the process of related control measures. As to the system functionality maintenance, this project has finished the maintenance and revision of connection between certification process and certificate issuance achieves effectively provide reference information for future emissions control measure implementation. To fulfill the request of EPA this project has combined emissions and noise certificates into one certificate, finished functionality addition and operation protocol for the certification process system for the convenience of manufacturers to apply for their certificates. With the implementation of gasoline vehicle emissions Stage 5 standards, this project has carried out amendment and addition of related articles on Gasoline vehicle emissions related test methods and procedures to harmonize the standards with the measures being executed in advanced countries and also meet domestic emissions control needs. This project also has performed EOBD functionality and emissions tests on a Stage 5 standards compliance vehicle in accordance with the EU OBD test procedure to verify the design of the vehicle’s OBD system. This project also has performed research emissions tests on 3 non plug-in rechargeable hybrid gasoline vehicles in accordance with both the EU and US emissions test procedures for hybrid electric vehicle. The test results have shown that the status of SOC is highly correlated with CO2 emission and fuel consumption, but not correlated with other pollutants. As to the work item of “Investigate gasoline automobile air pollution emissions estimate in Taiwan”, to reflect real exhaust emissions from vehicles when driving with average speed, 10 vehicle emissions tests were performed using both FTP-75 and NEDC drive cycles to get the transient test results for different average speeds. This project has held the 2011 vehicle model year green vehicle award press conference and accomplished the evaluation of 2012 vehicle model year green ranking. The rank evaluation related achieves and linkage pathway to the green vehicle website was updated periodically. Cooperated with EPA to write columns and published inside vehicle magazines such as: To know the functionalities of OBD system; idle engine stop related regulations; specific columns on purchase low carbon emission vehicles to protect our mother earth and educate the public on how to drive cars environmental friendly.
