Global legislation and Real Driving Emissions (RDE) requirements are becoming stricter all the time, so automotive manufacturers need to be agile enough in their development process to accommodate these changes quickly if they want to operate on a global level. This makes keeping abreast of the changing legislative landscape and choosing the right supplier for testing solutions more important than ever.
WORLDWIDE INTRODUCTION OF RDE
As RDE has its focus on real driving situations in the addressed market, it is clear that there will be different requirements coming from different regions.
Light duty RDE testing focusses on nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and particle number (PN), while heavy-duty testing also includes limits for total hydrocarbons (THC) and methane (CH4), which are crucial for LPG or CNG Engines.
The upcoming Euro 7 emission regulation will raise the bar for the challenge of Real Driving Emissions (RDE) development and testing. A reduction of existing limits and “new” limits are expected such as NH3 and THC/ NMHC for Light Duty Vehicles and N2O, HCHO and NMOG for Heavy Duty Vehicles. The particle number (PN) limit will be for 10nm particles instead of 23nm.

AVL M.O.V.E iS+ System has been designed to support all the different needs of global RDE regulations and applications, including passenger car and heavy-duty truck with a single versatile system.
An evolution of the M.O.V.E portfolio, it includes state-of-the-art central data management, gaseous emission and exhaust flow measurement, particulate counting and data post-processing. Supporting low-emission vehicle development with optional features such as fuel consumption measurement, energy balance for evaluation modern hybrids, and transient soot measurement for engine-out optimization, its versatile modularity enables it to be tailored to your specific needs.
Needless to say that PEMS solutions need to be robust and scalable to cover all these aspects and also need to allow the smooth exchange of data between different testing environments to enable the most efficient RDE development process.

AVL M.O.V.E GAS ADVANCED
The AVL M.O.V.E Gas ADVANCED features a new Low NOx NDUV analyzer to ensure highest accuracy and a low drift at the low NOx range. With this a further reduction of the NOx measurement uncertainty is supported. The device is an alternative of the GAS PEMS iS+ and uses the same accessories.
AVL M.O.V.E FID iS+
The AVL M.O.V.E FID iS+ is a PEMS for measuring the THC and CH4 concentrations in the exhaust gas of vehicles. It is especially optimized regarding robustness for in-vehicle application, easy operation and a flexible installation.
AVL M.O.V.E NH3 PEMS
The AVL M.O.V.E NH3 PEMS uses robust laser diode spectroscopy to measure the NH3 concentration during RDE. The device has been developed to address the upcoming Euro7 requirements and is an extension of the M.O.V.E iS+ system.
AVL M.O.V.E FT
The AVL M.O.V.E FT is based on an FTIR spectrometer that simultaneously measures multiple pre-calibrated exhaust gas components. The device has been developed to address the upcoming Euro7 requirements and may be used stand alone or as an extension to a M.O.V.E iS+ system.
AVL M.O.V.E PN PEMS iS / iS+
The AVL M.O.V.E PN PEMS iS / iS+ ensures the highest reproducibility with minimal particle losses. The device continuously measures the particle number emissions [#/cm³] of solid particles under real driving conditions.
AVL M.O.V.E SYSTEM CONTROL ADVANCED
AVL M.O.V.E System Control Advanced is a next-gen platform with enhanced capabilities that simplifies calibration with integrated external ambient sensors. It is a robust, central device integration and data acquisition tool ensuring valid measurements via automated checks and workflows for PEMS and in-vehicle tests.
AVL M.O.V.E DATA TOOLBOX 2
The M.O.V.E Data Toolbox 2 is a powerful software add-on for AVL CONCERTO 6™, the AVL data post-processing platform. It supports different global “real world emission” regulations and applications.
AVL M.O.V.E EFM
The AVL M.O.V.E EFM is based on the proven and robust “differential pressure” measurement principle. It consists of the EFM tube which is installed on the tailpipe of the vehicle and the EFM control box which includes the electronics and the pressure transducers.
