Abstract
Controlling on-road greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from heavy-duty vehicles is imperative. In order to study the on-road emission characteristics of GHG (CO2, N2O, CH4) and regulated emissions (NOx, CO, NH3) from China-Ⅵ heavy -duty vehicles, five typical China-Ⅵ heavy -duty diesel and heavy-duty liquid natural gas (LNG) vehicles were selected to conduct on-road emission tests according to the on-road emission test protocol of China-Ⅵ emission regulation. The results show that the CO 2 emissions of China-Ⅵ heavy-duty vehicles decreased with the increased engine load. The CO2-specific emissions of diesel and LNG vehicles under highway conditions were reduced by 23.55% and 25.80%, respectively, compared with the urban condition. The CO2-specific emissions of LNG vehicles were significantly lower than those of diesel vehicles. The CO2 emissions from LNG vehicles have decreased by 15.68%, 21.58% and 12.17% under urban, suburb, and motorway driving conditions, respectively, indicating that LNG vehicles have significant CO2 emission reduction advantages compared to diesel vehicles. The CH4 emissions of LNG vehicles were significantly higher than those of diesel vehicles, with CH4-specific emissions ranging from 750.75 mg/(kW·h) to 1915.08 mg/(kW·h). On the contrary, the N2O emissions of diesel vehicles were higher than those of LNG vehicles, which is related to the adoption of the selected catalytic reduction (SCR) system to control NOx emissions. Considering the significant GHG effects of CH4 and N2O, attention should be paid to the N2O and CH4 emissions of China-Ⅵ heavy -duty vehicles. Different technical routes taken by diesel vehicles and LNG vehicles can effectively control NOx emissions. The CO emissions of diesel vehicles were much lower than the NOx limit of China-Ⅵ emission regulations, while the CO emission control of LNG vehicles nearly failed. In addition, diesel vehicles can effectively control the on-road NH3 emissions, but the NH3specific emissions of LNG vehicles were 431.92-1286.45 mg/(kW·h). Taking effective measures to ensure the closed-loop accuracy of the air-fuel ratio is the prerequisite for reducing CO and NH3 emissions from LNG vehicles. The research results show that although LNG vehicles have CO2 emission reduction advantages compared with diesel vehicles, the greenhouse effect intensity of the two is similar. Considering that the on-road NOx and NH3 emissions of LNG vehicles are significantly higher than those of diesel vehicles, and NOx and NH3 are essential precursors of ozone and secondary aerosols in the atmosphere, it is not a reasonable to replace China-Ⅵ heavy -duty diesel vehicles with China-Ⅵ heavy -duty LNG vehicles, and it is not conducive to the control of ozone and particulate matter in the atmospheric environment.
