First UK routes approved for tailpipe emissions testing22 July 2016

Test and research centre Horiba MIRA has announced that it now has several Real Driving Emissions (RDE) routes approved by Dutch approval authority RDW – the first of their kind in the UK.

The routes have also been approved by the UK’s Vehicle Certification Agency and this means manufacturers have access to a certification partner ahead of new tailpipe emissions regulations coming into force in September 2017.

Alan Warburton, powertrain and emissions lead at Horiba MIRA, says: “We are incredibly proud to be have been awarded full approval from RDW on a number of our RDE routes, which allow us to carry out certification RDE testing on behalf of the Dutch approval authority.”

He adds: “Witnessed RDE tests on a range of vehicles have already been completed and the data submitted as part of the current RDE monitoring phase.”
