Title	Development of a method for assessing real world emissions of hybrid diesel light duty vehicles.
Description	The European Commission's DG for Enterprise (DG ENTR) and DG for Environment (DG ENV) are seeking support for the implementation of the Euro 5/6 legislation for hybrid diesel cars. They are therefore commissioning a service contract on the technology needed to make Euro 5 and 6 (NEDC) diesel hybrids compliant to Euro 6 RDE standards. This study will equally focus upon the testing and statistical methodology to determine compliance with the Euro 5/6 regulations.The legal requirement for the Commission to present a method which reflects emissions 'under normal driving conditions' accounts for all cars, including hybrid diesels. As expressed in the CARS2020 Communication (1), the Commission wants to bring forward legally binding real-world emission testing methodology and reliable statistical evaluation methods no later than 2017. As of 2014 this methodology will already be used for consumer information, in parallel with the legally binding NEDC based method. The primary objective is to develop an emission testing method based on PEMS, applicable for hybrid diesels.A secondary aim of this assignment is providing data and background information which can be used to widely inform stakeholders and the public on the environmental performance of Euro 5 and Euro 6 (NEDC type approved) Diesel Hybrid technology.(1) Communication from the Commission COM(2012) 636, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2012:0636:FIN:EN:PDF
