In this study, the effects of MTBE contents as oxygenates in gasoline on exhaust emissions and fuel economy in MPI and GDi vehicles have been investigated. Various oxygen contents have been selected such as 0, 1.0, 2.3 and 2.7 wt%. FTP-75 and HWFET modes as fuel economy test methods which are widely used in Republic of Korea and US were applied to investigate exhaust emissions from the test vehicles. Emissions of CO, NMHC and NOx did not show significant correlation with oxygen contents in gasoline fuels, although having slight difference with these contents. In addition, CO2 emissions were not significantly changed with respect to oxygen content. But in case of warm-up and FTP-75 and HWFET modes including high speed regimes, CO2 emissions showed inverse correlation with oxygen contents. Particulate number concentration was inversely proportional to the oxygen contents, having the minimum value at the condition of 2.3 wt%. In case of fuel economy through carbon balance method, the highest value has been obtained at 2.3 wt% and there was positive correlation with oxygen contents and fuel economy.

Fuel economy label will be used as a national indicator in energy management, leading to the development of car technology manufacturer and plays a role in providing consumer vehicle purchase information. But the government's fuel economy label is continued consumer complaint is different and diminishing fuel economy were introduced by the government to measure the exact fuel economy label than resetting the 5-cycle test method in the US for the domestic vehicle standards. Originally two test mode in order to reduce the impact of the sharp increase in the resources required but methods of calculating a measured result value by driving all of the five test mode a variety of environmental conditions and the running pattern is reflected to the fuel economy label (city( FTP-75 mode), highway(HWFET mode)) and using 5-cycle correction formula for calculating a fuel consumption value and the equivalent value to calculate the result of the 5-cycle test. The compensation was calculated expression 30s, 5-Cycle Test Method of vehicles in 2011 was considered necessary to review the existing 5-cycle correction formula for the New Type car due to the recent rapid development of automotive technology. In this study, recent technology is targeting 14 units New Type car applied over the same test method and the existing check test mode specific fuel economy properties and, as a result of analyzing the corrected expression differences that have already been developed with the existing test vehicle resulting large did not show the difference was found to correction formula also not getting the existing fuel correction expression significant effect on the improvement of the current automobile technology as a maximum error of less than 1.5%.

Due to the environmental problems caused by the greenhouse effect, regulation of $CO_2$ emissions is getting stronger day by day. In paricular, regulations of automobiles $CO_2$ emissions are being strengthen. However, existing $CO_2$ measurement methods do not reflect the environment and operating conditions on actual roads. Emissions of $CO_2$ can be increased by various conditions such as environmental condition(temperature and humidity) and driver's tendency(aggressive and passive). Therefore it is necessary to reflect the conditions of various actual roads such as 5-cycle test method on behalf of the existing $CO_2$ emission measurement method. The 5-cycle measurement method has five test modes; FTP-75, HWFET, US06, SC03, Cold FTP-75. The method reflects the following three environments and operating conditions as compared to conventional method; Using heater at low temperature, Aggressive driving such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, Using air conditioner at high temperature. Because of these various conditions of each test cycle, the 5-cycle method can reflect actual environments and operating conditions. This paper attempt to analyze $CO_2$ emission characteristics based on the results measured through the 5-cycle mode and develop the correction formula that can derive the results of the 5-cycle test method using existing test methods. As a result, the developed correction formula is expected to reduce $CO_2$ emissions and cut down expense for testing 5-cycle mode.

The fuel economy estimates essentially serve two purposes : to provide consumers with a basis on which to compare the fuel economy of different vehicles, and to provide consumers with a reasonable estimate of the range of fuel economy they can expect to achieve. The current fuel economy label values utilize measured fuel economy over city driving cycles. However, this test driving mode can not be evaluated the variety factor of the real-world. These factors include differences between the way vehicles are driven on the road and over the test cycles, air conditioning use, widely varying ambient temperature and humidity, widely varying trip lengths, wind, precipitation, rough road conditions, hills, etc. The purpose of this paper is to account for three of these factors on the fuel economy : 1) on-road driving patterns (i.e. higher speeds and more aggressive driving (higher acceleration rates)), 2) air conditioning, and 3) colder temperatures. The new test methods will bring into the fuel economy estimates the test results from the five emissions tests in place today : CVS-75, HWFET, US06, SC03 and Cold CVS-75. Based on these new test methods, this paper discusses the characteristics of driving condition on Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). And this paper assesses the fuel economy label of HEV.

These test methods, the current domestic vehicles fuel economy calculation method is tested on a dynamometer for vehicles after you have installed the vehicle, given the test mode(FTP-75 & HWFET mode, etc.) are measured by vehicle emissions and fuel economy by seeking to have the results approach, the carbon balance method. At this point, using the carbon balance method is a test method was developed seeking fuel for a standard fuel properties, where the value of the constant and saved test was measured in THC, CO, $CO_2$ has a value calculation. Therefore, use fuel which is changed every time you test the fuel properties characteristics are not considered exactly. In this study, using the carbon balance method and fluid flow rate of the fuel used in the actual test is measured by comparing the results with the flow measurement methods, properties of the fuel used for the test attribute to study ways that can be considered, taking into account the physical attributes of a more diverse fuel line and fuel economy improved measurement methods that can be reviewed.

The purpose of present study is to analysis the Characteristics of fuel economy and Green house gases due to the driving mode conditions of The hybrid electric vehicle(HEV). HEVs are divided into mild and power types according to the their functions. mild type HEVs are inexpensive because they do not need to implement a pure electric mode. Power type HEVs are more expensive but has also better fuel efficiency. In the present paper, the test results for the gasoline vehicle using FTP-75 mode and HWFET are present.

Recently rise in oil prices feet the burden on not only diesel vehicle driver but also LPG vehicle driver, and get interested in various way to reduce fuel costs. In this study discuss on exhaust emissions characteristics on driving cycle mode and ignition advance condition change of CNG/LPLI Bi-Fuel vehicle. Experimental test was performed by changing the conditions of fuel (LPG/CNG), spark advance (Base, $10^{\circ}CA$, $15^{\circ}CA$), and driving mode (FTP-75, HWFET, and NEDC). In case of CO emission, in the order of CNG Base, CNG S/A10, S/A15 condition are average reduced -21%, -35%, -29% respectively compared to LPG fuel. The active emission reduction from the initial engine start, spark retard is likely to be beneficial in catalyst warm-up and improve combustion stability rather than spark advance.

Due to persist of high oil prices, LPG price stabilization and CNG modification project will be conducted. Present study describes the fuel efficiency and $CO_2$ emission characteristics on driving cycle mode and ignition advance condition change of CNG/LPG Bi-Fuel vehicle. In case of LPG Base and CNG Base condition, considerable $CO_2$ emissions are generated within range of high acceleration on FTP-75 and HWFET driving mode. However previous phenomena does not appear in CNG fuel $10^{\circ}CA$ and $15^{\circ}CA$ spark advance condition. As a result of analyzing the experimental data CNG $S/A10^{\circ}CA$, CNG $S/A15^{\circ}CA$, CNG Base, and LPG Base sequentially measured high fuel economy and low $CO_2$ emission characteristics.
