The groundbreaking initiative funded by the European Union, the PAREMPI project has launched a measurement campaign to unravel the true extent of exhaust emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in challenging winter conditions. The two-week campaign, spanning from Tampere to Lapland, kicked off on 4 March 2024, with a focus on evaluating emissions from heavy-duty vehicles through

PAREMPI is gearing up for the Transport Research Arena (TRA) happening from 15 – 18 April, promising an exciting exploration of transportation’s future. The eagerly awaited conference, themed “Transforming Transport – Driving Innovation for Sustainable Mobility,” marks its 10º conference edition.  A moment not to be missed at the event will be the presentation of

Earlier this year, the PAREMPI partners submitted an abstract paper for the upcoming TRA2024 conference taking place in Dublin, Ireland from 15-18 April 2024. The paper titled  “Transport sectors’ real-world emissions: From gaseous precursors to secondary aerosol formation in urban air“ has been written by several PAREMPI partners and coordinated by Päivi Aakko-Saksa, VTT as

The first PAREMPI measurement campaign focusing on emissions from light-duty vehicles took place in October 2023 at BOSMAL in Poland. The main campaign lasted 31 days and included 33 participants from 5 partner organisations. Valuable emission data were generated through extensive measurements.  In the chassis dynamometer facilities, seven different hybrid, diesel, gasoline and compressed natural
