1 Motor Vehicle Emission Control in Japan Better Air Quality Workshop 2002 ( 16th Dec 2002 ) Environmental Management Bureau, Ministry of the Environment Kotaro Kawamata
2 Presentation Overview 1. Air Quality Status 2. Framework of Emission Control 3. Current & Future Emission Standards 4. For Effective Emission Control (Test Cycle & OBD) 5. Future Task
Attainment rate of Air Quality Standards (Road side) ( NO 2 ) ( SPM ) ( Environmental Quality Standards) ・ SPM... Daily average is 0.10 mg/m 3 or less ・ NO 2 …Daily average is in a range from 0.04 to 0.06 ppm or below 1. Air Quality Status
Emissions by Source Category 1. Air Quality Status
5 Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Measures in Japan 1. Tightening Emission Standards 2. NOx-PM Law (ban old vehicles to be registered in Metropolitan areas) 3. Promoting Low Emission Vehicles (Hybrid, CNG, FCV, etc.) 2. Framework of Emission Control
Recommendation of the Central Environment Council Air Pollution Control Law ( Ministry of the Environment ) 《 Motor Vehicle Emission Control 》 Maximum permissible limits on the amount of exhaust gases from motor vehicles 《 Fuel Control 》 Maximum permissible limits on the automotive fuel quality Road Vehicle Act ( Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport ) Safety regulations for road vehicles Law on the Quality Control of Gasoline and Other Fuels ( Ministry of Economy, Trade Industry) Compulsory standards for gasoline and diesel fuel 2. Framework of Emission Control Framework of Emission and Fuel Control

On Board Diagnostics (OBD) _ Vehicles GVW 3.5t or less …OBD Ⅱ requirement from 2008 _ Vehicle more than GVW 3.5t …Introduce after technologically available Fuel Control Valve Sensor of Temp and air intake ② Warning lump on EGR valve O 2 sensor O 2 sensor Tire Engine ECM Catalyst Fuel tank ① Detect malfunction and failures 4. For Effective Emission Control
16 Future Task _ Further tightening of emission standards - Motorcycles - Non-road vehicles - HD diesel vehicles _ Fuel quality (Sulfur contents, etc.) _ Evaporative emission _ Off-cycle control _ Ultra fine particles
