The trailers with electronically controlled diesel engine was converted to dual fuel engine system. To estimate economical efficiency, test vehicles have been operated on a certain driving route repeatedly. Fuel economy, mximum driving distance per refueling and driveability are examined on the road including a free way. Developed vehicle can be operated over 500 km with dual Hel and shows 85% of diesel substitution ratio. Driveability is similar with but passing acceleration. It will be improved by calibration process. Test engine was set up for investigating power output, thermal efficiency and emission. ND 13-mode tests were performed for the test cycle. The emission result of dual fuel meets K2006 regulation and the engine performance of dual fuel engine was equivalent to the performance of diesel engine.

우리나라의 자동차 등록대수는 90년대 중반 이후 1,000만대를 돌파하여, 2002년 12월 현재 1천 4백만 대에 육박하고 있다. 2000년 전국 대기오염물질 배출량 조사결과의 수송부문의 기여율은 58％로서, 자동차 오염물질이 국내 대기질 악화에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 이 중에서도 특히 경유자동차는 중요한 오염물질 배출원으로 알려져 있다. 경유자동차 저공해화 대책의 일환인 천연가스차 보급으로 대형 경유차에 대해서는 저공해화 기반이 마련되었으나, 중ㆍ소형 경유차에 대한 대책은 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이었다.(중략)

This research is to anticipate problems of Ray's disabled experiment welfare vehicles for 17 drivers with disability, improving them. In addition it is to provide the criteria for ergonomic design based on perspective of drivers with disability by investigating 18 items of usability test. The results are as follows. First, satisfaction degree of Ray, disabled experiment welfare vehicle, was shown to be 3.88 which is higher than normal vehicles whose degree is 3.20. This showed that the disabled experiment welfare vehicle is the one with much improvement. Second, so as to develop a welfare vehicle it needs to take into account some factors including rear slope, wheelchair locker, seat belt, safety grip, and high roof. Third, in case of rear slope, high roof and width of manual or automatic wheel chairs should be considered and motor-operated device should also be taken into account for safety lockers, which make a wheelchair firmly fixed. Moreover, motor-operated seat and rear slope can be chosen for either of the disabled and the elderly.

21세기의 이슈 중 가장 주목받고 있는 것은 '녹색성장'입니다. 정부 역시 '저탄소 녹생성장'을 향후 60년 비전으로 제시하여 에너지 위기와 경제위기를 동시에 타개해 나가겠다고 선포하였습니다. 이에 따라 환경부에서는 저탄소 녹색성장의 효율적 추진을 위해 지자체 기후변화대응 강화, 탄소포인트제 실시, 폐기물 에너지 자원화, 저탄소형 소비 생산 문화 확산, 온실가스감축 실천프로그램, 저탄소 자동차 보급 확대 등 10대 중점과제를 선정하여 단계별로 추진 중입니다. 지금부터는 고유가 시대에 저렴한 연료비로 관심을 바도 있는 LPG차량(완성차, 엔진개조차량 포함)의 연비 특성에 대해 살펴보겠습니다.

Natural gas is one of the promising alternative fuels for automotive vehicles, because it has lower exhaust emissions and better fuel economy characteristics than those of gasoline, and can be used in conventional gasoline engines without major modifications. In the present study, a conventional gasoline engine was modified to a CNG engine, which can be operated with CNG only, and an engine bench test was performed to calibrate the operating parameters of the engine such as air fuel ratio, spark advance, etc. at various operating conditions. The modified CNG engine, then, was installed on a commercial gasoline vehicle and a vehicle driving test on chassis dynamometer was performed to examine the fuel economy and exhaust emission characteristics. As a result, the prototype CNG vehicle showed lower exhaust emissions and better fuel economy characteristics, but slightly reduced brake horse power, compared to the gasoline vehicle.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the potential domestic and international market conditions vehicles for people with disabilities through a review of the literature and internet resources, and to propose a road map developing South Korean vehicles for people with disabilities taking into consideration the current state of domestic and international technology and the usage of the vehicles for people with disabilities depending on the type of disability. The results of the study are as follows: First, vehicles for people with disabilities safety standards of South Korea do not meet the safety standards of developed countries and the technology of development related vehicles for people with disabilities is not as advanced as that of developed countries. Vehicles for people with disabilities installation methods, specifications, features and safety standards should be designed to be more similar to those of Japan and the United States. Second, vehicle modifications for people with disabilities will become more common as measures directed at promoting the welfare of people with disabilities, such as travel and transportation measures, employment opportunities, education, and funding for vehicle modifications, are implemented along with laws, such as The Americans with Disabilities Act, The British Disability Discrimination Act, and Japan's barrier-free transport law, that protect people with disabilities generally. Third, through a comparative analysis of domestic and international market conditions and demands of people with disabilities in vehicle modifications, important things to pay attention by purchasing a modified vehicle for people with disabilities are the employment rate for people with disabilities and monthly income. To enable this, government agencies and industry bodies should work together through the revision of the current Disability Welfare Act or the enactment of the special law for guiding principles of Disability Welfare Act. Through the future changes in vehicles for people with disabilities-related system or society of South Korean, the annual demand of the vehicles is expected to be more than 10,000.

1930년대에 이탈리아에서 개발되기 시작한 천연가스 자동차(NGV)는 1970년대에 몇차례의 석유의기를 겪으면서 석유 에너지의 대체연료로 뉴질랜드등에서 본격적으로 연구가 시작되었고, 1990년대에 와서는 천연가스의 저공해성에 착안한 세계각국에서 경쟁적으로 개발이 급속히 진행되고 있으며 그 결과 전세계적으로 22개국에 걸쳐서 약 100만대이상의 차량이 개조되어 운행중인 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 최근에 와서는 급속한 차량의 증가로 인하여 자동차 배출오염물질이 급격히 증가, 대도시 대기 오염의 주된 원인으로 등장함에 따라 이에 대한 해결책의 하나로 부각된 천연가스 자동차에 대한 심도있는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 소고에서는 국내외적으로 현재까지 진행된 천연가스자동차 기술에 대해 각 시스템별로 기술적인 특징을 분석 정리하여 천연가스 자동차의 기술개발 방향을 제시하고 한국기계연구원에서 수행한 내용에 대하여 간단히 소개하고자 한다.

국가 에너지원의 다원화와 환경공해 저감은 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장 정책과 에너지 안보를 위해 달성해야만 하는 필수불가결한 과제로 자리 매김한지 오래이다. 또한, 화석연료의 환경문제 유발과 석유자원의 고갈위기 등으로 인해 이를 대체할 수 있는 신재생에너지 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으며 이러한 과제를 해결하기 위한 친환경 연료로써 DME(Dimethyl ether)에 대한 관심이 날로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히 높은 세탄가를 지니고 물성이 LPG와 유사하여 디젤차량 및 LPG 대체 연료, 연료전지 등의 다양한 용도로 사용할 수 있고 수송 저장 수단, 인프라 구축 등의 장애가 적다는 장점이 있으며, LPG와 물리적 특성이 비슷해 기존 LPG 인프라를 개조하지 않고도 LPG와 혼합해 난방 및 취사뿐 아니라 차량 연료용으로도 시범사업이 활발히 추진되고 있는 상황이다. 그밖에도 액화상태로 저장 운송 등의 취급이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 한국가스공사의 경제성 분석 결과, 본격 보급시 LPG대비 20~30% 저렴하게 공급가능하다고 판단되어짐에 따라 LPG사용자 부담을 완화할 수 있는 기대를 가지게 한다. 이에 우리협회는 지경부 한국가스공사등과 함께 프로판에 DME가 20%의 혼합된 DME혼합연료 소비자에게 보급하는 시범사업을 전개하고 있으며 현재까지 진행된 내용과 향후 계획등을 소개함으로써 DME에 대한 이해를 높이고자 한다.

The government have been tightening EM regulation gradually but the effect is not good because of rapid increase of vehicles. And medium & heavy duty diesel vehicles, even though the number is small, exhaust very large pollutants(about over 50%). Especially it is more severe about old trucks and buses. Accordingly, CNG vehicle and the retrofit of diesel to CNG must be an alternative in order to protect the atmospheric environment and improve the air quality in the metropolitan area. The main object of this study is to secure the retrofit technology of diesel to CNG vehicle and the management system of CNG engine. we passed the government emission certification test. In addition to this, the mass production for retrofit is also studied. Results of emission and durability test for certification are as follows; there was no problem during 30,000km vehicle durability test and good emission levels satisfying the regulation.
