Abstract
Possibilities of reducing the exhaust gas emission of motor lorries are discussed. This concerns engine-related measures, methanol addition to diesel fuel as well as alternative concepts for engines and vehicles, for example engines with turbocharging, turbocharging with charge-air cooling, influence of engine characteristics, traction resistance and payload of lorries. Problems of exhaust cleaning with catalytic converters or smoke filters are briefly discussed. A cost-benefit-risk evaluation allows the conclusion that engine optimation, exact design of engine characteristics, turbocharging with charge-air cooling and reduction of traction resistance together lead to the most favourable compromise between the achievable level of exhaust gas reduction, economic manufacturing and operation as well as length of service life of lorry engines. All these engine-related measures allow to stick to an NO/sub x/-emission of (10...12) g/kWh in the so-called 13-steps-test according to the ECE-regulation 49. Going below these values would require unconventional and partly difficult measures like exhaust gas recirculation and exhaust gas treatment.
