- Summary:
- This book investigates current models designed to predict air pollutant emissions and fuel consumption for road traffic and presents the outputs of statistical models developed to derive emission factors. It also reports on hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engines and the use of syngas from methane with a compression ignition engine.
