In early December 2012, Brussels, Belgium, manufacturers of heavy-duty commercial vehicles and engines from Europe, North America, and Japan held the 10th meeting of the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) commercial vehicle executives, continuing to call for global cooperation to improve fuel efficiency and reduce Greenhouse gas emissions, and discuss some issues related to the supervision and certification of heavy-duty engines and vehicles.
Cooperation should be based on a unified fuel efficiency test method
It is understood that this meeting was chaired by Harrie Schippers, president of DAF Trucks and chairman of the board of directors of ACEA. After the wrap-up meeting, Schippers stated: “Globally, commercial vehicle manufacturers are decisively taking measures to overcome short-term and long-term challenges. Driven by commercial interests, the industry has begun research and development and production to improve vehicle fuel efficiency while reducing greenhouse gases. (GHG) Emissions Products In the global cooperation process, the first thing we need to consider is to unify the methods for testing fuel efficiency, because this will greatly reduce production costs, and the heavy-duty commercial vehicle production industry will benefit first. At the same time, our users and even the broader society will benefit from it."
In addition, Schippers added that the conference is also concerned about long-term issues, such as discussing the flexibility to increase vehicle design, which also helps the road freight industry to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and harmful gases.
"In these important technical research areas, this high-level meeting reiterated the importance of international cooperation in the commercial vehicle industry," Schippers concluded.
Global cooperation is a consensus
Schippers also commented on the first 9 meetings. He said: "Through the first 9 meetings, some countries have been advancing the adoption of emissions certification for heavy-duty commercial vehicles worldwide; the harmonization of regulations and regulations for vehicle diesel has been further developed; Management requirements for improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through global cooperation have been implemented."
The industry leaders attending the meeting also reached consensus on the following real needs: adhere to global cooperation to expand the scope of application of heavy-duty commercial vehicle emission certification procedures; emphasized the importance of the global vehicle diesel specification; to further develop and develop a global unified vehicle Fuel efficiency testing methods and global harmonization of accreditation procedures for the promotion of heavy-duty hybrid commercial vehicles.
According to reports, the companies attending the meeting stated that they have or will work together with their respective countries to speed up the adoption of heavy-duty commercial vehicle emission certification procedures and support the United Nations in establishing a globally uniform heavy-duty hybrid commercial vehicle certification program. Participants reiterated that they will continue to discuss with the United Nations the development of global diesel specifications, and further stressed that: in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to more accurately assess the level of carbon dioxide emissions from commercial vehicles, it is necessary and necessary to establish global testing procedures. Global action.
At the same time, the participants also hoped to establish a joint expert group to study three major issues related to greenhouse gas emissions: engine fuel map, vehicle air resistance and duty cycle, and driver model.
In the end, everyone gave unanimous approval to the multi-national and multi-regional cooperation that the industry and the government have carried out to promote global harmonization. It is believed that this will ultimately greatly improve the user, the environment, and the commercial vehicle industry.
