Emission Testing Services

Flexible

EF&EE has the equipment and the expertise to carry out credible, independent emission measurements on nearly anything that moves. Our standard RAVEM™ system can be adapted to measure emissions of just about any pollutant from just about any engine-powered vehicle, from cars and trucks to locomotives and ships. And if the standard configuration won't meet your testing needs, we can develop a special configuration that will!

Cost Effective

EF&EE's charges for emission testing are typically about $5,000-$6,000 per day of actual emission testing in the field. This is less than half the cost of most dynamometer emission test facilities. This includes the costs of protocol development, planning, travel to and from the site, emission testing, data analysis, and preparation of an engineering report.

One day of emission testing is generally enough for setup and 8-12 emission tests on a single vehicle (enough to characterize its emissions in a variety of test conditions), or 3 tests on each of two vehicles (sufficient to characterize their emissions for comparative purposes).

Experienced EF&EE project teams have carried out more than 1,400 emission tests in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Some typical examples: Idle and Start-Up Emissions from Locomotives in Los Angeles Bus and Bus Rapid Transit Emissions in Mexico City Retrofit Device Evaluation on Mexico City Transit Buses Blue and Gold Fleet Ferry Boat Emissions on San Francisco Bay Emissions from Ferryboats Using Emulsion Fuel for San Francisco Bay Water Transit Authority
