Diesel Mild Hybrid Concepts for Post-Euro 6 Legislation

The European Commission (EC) is working on a post-Euro 6 legislation with 2025 as the target introduction date. The legislation is intended to follow the EC’s so­-called Green Deal [1] and ensure that vehicles have low pollutant emissions under all driving conditions and over their entire service life. It is therefore expected that the emission l­imits for all driving conditions and driving traces will be lowered. While most of today’s Euro 6d diesel vehicles can achieve very low emissions  in journeys with r­ elatively long distances, short distances are still challenging. A further goal of the Green Deal is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, the average CO2 emission values for Passenger Cars (PCs) have been limited to 95 g/km throughout Europe since 2020. The target for Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) is 147 g/km. It has been decided to further reduce the fleet limit for CO2 by 2030 over the next few years: starting with 15 % for all vehicles by 2025 and followed by 37.5 % for PCs and 31 % for LCVs [2]. Non-compliance will result in fines per gram of CO2 per vehicle sold. POST-EURO 6 VEHICLE CONCEPTS FOR LCV AND MID -SIZE SUV

Post-Euro 6 legislation is expected to be introduced in 2025 and will include even stricter emission limits. When reaching the light-off of the exhaust gas system, today’s modern diesel p ­ ropulsion systems offer low emissions combined with very high fuel efficiency. FEV has investigated different exhaust gas configurations in combination with mild hybridization for two diesel-typical vehicle concepts in order to optimize the time to operational readiness of the exhaust systems in terms of low emissions and consumption.

The aim is to minimize emissions, especially Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), in RDE operation and, at the same time, reduce fuel consumption to such an extent that it is positively reflected in the CO2 fleet value. Mild hybridization (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles, MHEVs) is particularly interesting here, as this can be carried out without any major modifications to an existing drivetrain. This paper presents one part of FEV’s work in this area. A cost­-
