Emissions Analytics was commissioned by Gatwick Airport to review the robustness of the air quality predictions for the UK, as presented in the Air Quality Plan from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). The review had a particular focus on vehicle emissions, air quality in London, and the likely effects of Real Driving Emissions (RDE) regulations.
The report looked at the changing regulatory environment, how vehicle technology is adapting to new regulations, the accuracy and representativeness of official emissions data, the effect of unregulated emissions and the role of emissions hot-spots in air quality compliance.
In addition, Emissions Analytics was commissioned to conduct specific on-road testing around Heathrow and Gatwick in order to validate the real-world level of emissions from Euro 6 diesel cars in these locations.
Emissions Analytics contributed to a review of Defra’s Air Quality Plan on behalf of Gatwick Airport.
missions Analytics used its expertise to present a comprehensive summary of the current situation, making use of its database of real-world emissions tests to evidence its findings and draw it all together in a detailed yet readable report.
“Working to a challenging programme Emissions Analytics was able to quickly produce a high quality report for us, drawing on their vast experience of real-world vehicle emissions testing. This proved to be invaluable in supporting evidence we presented to the Government on the soundness of predictions in the UK Air Quality Plan.”
