Abstract

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contribution of vehicular fuel and IC engines on CO2 emission. Definitions of mass and volumetric emission indexes and emission factor are given, and the calculated values for mostly used CnHm fossil fuels are presented. The scenario of European carmaker voluntary agreement to reduce the specific CO2 emission [g CO2/km] over the years 1995 through 2020 is discussed. The role of fuel energy conversion process in vehicle engines is analyzed and its effect on fuel consumption [l/100 km] and CO2 emission is summarized. Average values of standardized (ECE) and road (test) fuel consumption performances of vehicles with SI engines have been calculated and associated CO2 emissions are presented. The requisite approaches to reduce vehicle CO2 emission are discussed.
