For emissions, air quality and fuel testing specialists such as you and us, March each year wouldn’t be the same without getting together in Southern California to discuss the latest hot topics and research. The Coordinating Research Council’s Real World Emissions Workshop is the cornerstone, but for fifteen years this was complemented in the same week with a specialist event on Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) and on-board sensing, analysis and reporting (OSAR) organised by the University of California Riverside.

Having taken a year out in 2026, we are pleased to announce that 2027 will see the return of this second event, now organised by Emissions Analytics in association with Kent Johnson from UC Riverside. It will harness the previous conference track record and bring it together with Emissions Analytics’ Tyre Emissions & Sustainability conference, which held its third, highly successful event last month. The event will tackle the latest innovations in PEMS testing in the same event as deep dives into the fast-emerging area of tyre and brake emissions.
