Technology trends for the next step
It is now predicted vehicles with Urea SCR will grow in numbers, but vehicles not having Urea SCR will equip a lean NOx trap catalyst in the future. Why? Japan has quite a few diesel passenger vehicles. General gas stations cannot provide urea solution.
Basic system configurations will not be changed from the current ones. But, after treatment system has to be improved.
Prospective technologies:
l From the existing Fe-zeolite based catalyst to Cu-zeolite based catalyst l SCR catalyst coated DPF

FC Test Method - Simulation
Fuel consumption for HDV is calculated using Simulation method. Preconditions for the calculation: u Calculation target is vehicle. Not enough to improve only engine performance. Combination of engine and transmission is important. u Regulation Target is for vehicle manufactures. Vehicles without loading plat home ; Cab and chassis u To reduce workload, small things are neglected . e.g. Rolling resistant coefficient is set to the constant value based on the weight. u Engine tests needs to create a fuel efficiency map by steady state
operation.

Simulation method will be introduced later.

Adopt Measures against Defeat Strategy in 2013
15
In 2011, defeat strategy was revealed by a HD truck: When it ran on a steady state driving for 4 minutes, the EGR control was changed.
Purpose is to improve fuel efficiency only at the engine test conducted for fuel efficiency map creation, while emission test is conducted with transient cycle.
Until now Fuel efficiency map was created by steady state operation. Based on the results, simulation calculated fuel consumption.
From now At the emission test, fuel consumption rate is additionally measured, and then validate whether the measurement values are equal to the fuel consumption by the simulation.
Countermeasures were launched from October, 2013.

The Future of Emission Test
• After 2016, the regulation value will not be tightened・・・The point is not the regulation value any more.
• To maintain the emission performance of in-use vehicles is more important・・・ In 2018, WWH-OBD(equivalent to OBD-2 in the U.S.) will be introduced.
• Durability test is the hottest topic under discussion.

Current Durability Requirements
Durability requirement for HD vehicles
A couple of endurance test cycles were established. One of them is equivalent to the U.S. But, some of HD vehicles showed significant deterioration in performance with even less mileage than the durable mileage. In particular, the deterioration happened in Urea SCR.
G VW t D istance km < 8 2500008 - 12 45000012 < 650000
Causes of the deteriorations : 1. HC poisoning 2. DOC deterioration

HC poisoning – major cause of deterioration
• Zeolite based SCR catalyst would absorb not only ammonia, but also hydro-carbons (HC).
• In continuous idling or light load operating, the SCR catalyst surface would be covered with HC, and NOx reduction rate was deteriorated.
• When the SCR catalyst is poisoned by HC, NH3 and N2O emission are also increase drastically.
• It would be possible to recover the catalyst by high load engine operation to eliminate the HC.
• This problem would be almost resolved in latest vehicles having DPF with active regeneration

Pre-DOC Deterioration • From the fact that performance deteriorates with increasing of driving
distance, the possible cause is sulfur in fuel and oil. • Sulfur in exhaust gas forms SO2 and flows into the catalyst, but SO2
has weak reactive. When SO2 is oxidized to SO3 on the catalyst, SO3 brings deterioration.
• When the catalyst temperature is low, the reaction from SO2 to SO3 does not occur, but when it is high, some SO2 is not trapped on the catalyst, and it causes the deterioration at a certain temperature window.
• The temperature window seems to be around 300℃, but this distribution is not used for durability test. At the point of validation, the same deterioration did not occur.

Issues for the next durability test method
u Existing durability test aimed to check whether vehicles could endure high temperature condition and rapid temperature change.
u But, it cannot reproduce HC-poisoning in low temperature and
DOC deterioration caused by sulfur at about 300 ℃.
u If including these conditions, test cycle will take longer time. It is not preferable.
u New durability test procedure including this issue is now under
consideration.

Introduction of WHTC※
including cold start makes validation stricter. But vehicles for domestic use have gap between WHTC and real world. The gap causes troubles.
WHTC operation using a 302kW engine (target vehicle is GVW 25t class) JE05 mode operation using a vehicle meeting fuel efficiency standards with the same engine
Low-fuel consumption gives a tendency to use lower speed engine in real world. (Off-cycle test can solve some problems.) ※ WHTC: Transient cycle as the core cycle in WHDC
