Diesel Vehicle Emissions testing results
Test Procedures
Vehicle emissions were measured when operated on a chassis dynamometer, under laboratory conditions, using the appropriate "Composite Urban Emissions Drive Cycle" (CUEDC).

The CUEDC comprises four segments each of which represent different urban traffic conditions:
Segment 1: Congested city cycle
Segment 2: Residential/Minor road cycle
Segment 3: Arterial road cycle
Segment 4: Freeway/Highway cycle.
A series of CUEDCs have been developed representing the various ADR vehicle categories. The particular drive cycle pertaining to the test vehicle category was used for each emission test.
The test was divided into two parts. 1st Test involved the measuring of the toxic emissions from two vehicles using commercial diesel fuel. 2nd test required additional testing of the two vehicles using MPG-CAPStm fuel additive from Forever Freedom International for 1 month.

Below is a summary of the first vehicle, a Mitsubishi FK 617 comparing the Segment 1 congested city cycle before and after results.

Nitrogen Monoxide (NOx) (ppm)
Nitrogen monoxide is a pollutant formed by the reaction of nitrogen gas N2, and oxygen gas O2, at high temperatures in the combustion process of automobile engines. This gas is a catalyst in the reactions that cause the destruction of the ozone. They are usually measured in parts per million.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) (% vol)
Carbon monoxide from automobile emissions is a dangerous pollutant that may contribute to the greenhouse effect and is an extremely poisonous gas. Breathing air that contains as little as 0.1% carbon monoxide by volume can be fatal; a concentration of about 1% can cause death within a few minutes. The gas is formed by the incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon and oxygen and is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is measured in parts per million.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Carbon dioxide is created by the combustion of fossil fuels among other chemical processes. Said to be a major contributor to the Earth's current global warming. Carbon dioxide is also an important greenhouse gas because of its ability to absorb many infrared wavelengths of the Sun's light, and because of the length of time it stays in the Earth's atmosphere. Due to this, and the role it plays in the respiration of plants, it is a major component of the carbon cycle.

Concentration of Methane Hydrocarbons (CH4)
Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (i.e., warming effect compared to carbon dioxide. When averaged over 100 years each kg of CH4 warms the Earth 25 times as much as the same mass of CO2

Total Hydrocarbons (THC) (ppm)
Hydrocarbons are raw un-burnt fuel and are the by-product of incomplete or poor combustion. They are usually measured in parts per million.

Particular Matter (PM-LLSP)
Particles of carbon and other exhaust matter found in the exhaust emission.
Inhaling these particles imposers’ dangerous health risk and reparatory problems.

Opacity Max(%): 48.069
Opacity measures the thickness/density of exhaust smoke. Measured by the amount of light that can pass though the exhaust smoke. The higher the number the darker/denser the exhaust smoke.

FuelCon (D/100k)
Fuel consumption analyzed with computer software by measuring all the exhaust emissions to calculate the fuel consumption (Litres per 100 kilometers).
