The Real Urban Emissions Initiative (TRUE) has kicked off a groundbreaking project in Kampala, Uganda, to measure on-road vehicle emissions, the first to take place in Africa.
A low-emission zone (LEZ) in Warsaw, Poland could help reduce NOx emissions by 30% and PM emissions by 57% by 2025, says TRUE modelling following the city’s newly announced plans to tackle poor air quality.
A new TRUE study of real-world vehicle emissions in New York City has two key findings in relation to truck emissions in NYC: First, less than 10% of diesel trucks on the road are responsible for more than two-thirds of the fleet's tailpipe PM2.5 emissions; and second, people of colour living in the city are exposed to more PM2.5 from diesel trucks than average while non-Latino white residents are exposed to less.
