Result description
With the introduction of new emissions and CO2 reduction targets by EU, Year 2020 is considered for the whole transportation sector as the first step along a very critical technological path to reduce CO2 emissions by 37.5% at 2030 horizon.
For now more than 10 years the possibility given by the co-optimization of thermal engine parameters according to the fuels quality is considered as one of the most promising path to achieve carbon footprint reduction target in combination with powertrain electrification and engine downsizing. BtL fuels are already produced in high volume and the up-coming of PtL « electro » fuels are widely pushed by European directives.
An on-board fuel sensor will become mandatory to discriminate the type and the rate of renewable fuels for tuning thermal engine settings and parameters in real time.
Sensor output information can be shared using secured platform with regulation authorities allowing to use the sensor as a way to certify CO2 saved
SP3H has developped the new generation of the on board microNIR sensor (fuelBOX), designed for large volume production of automotive and trucks manufacturers
