CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUEL ECONOMY AND CARBON FOOT PRINT STUDY IN VARIOUS OPERATION CONDITIONS FOR A CITY COMPACT SIZE CAR WITH AT TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY FROM CLUJ-NAPOCA
Carbon footprint and automotive pollution are some important concerns in transportation field. Main objective of the present work is to propose, develop and implement the new complex method of computer aided measurement concerning carbon footprint in urban driving condition of a city car with instruments and equipment available at Technical University from Cluj-Napoca. Specific objectives consist in experimental research of fuel consumption and economy, determination of pollutant emissions from the motor vehicle and pointing out the method’s fundamentals at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. A new method of advanced technological research was developed during this study. The junction of computer aided processing and fuel/chemical efficiency evaluation is pointed out during the paper development. There were also highlighted the economy and carbon footprint trend lines in each particular context.
