Introduction:
[ )
This report provides exhaust emission and fuel economy data from Penske heavy-dutytruck tractors used by the Toyota Motor Company in California to transport theirautomobiles. It was a three-phase project.
Phase I: Measure exhaust emission and calculate fuel economy fromPenskefToyota trucks taken directly from Toyota automobile transportoperations in "as-received" conditions.
Phase II: Install the Rentar in-line fuel catalyst. Accumulate normalover-the-road mileage with Toyota drivers in typical automobiletransport operations.
Phase III: After several thousand miles of commercial operation remeasure exhaust emissions and fuel economy with exactly the sametest procedures as used in Phase I.
This project was sponsored by the Toyota Motor Company and Rentar EnvironmentalSolutions, Inc. as part of a joint continuing effort to reduce pollution from over-the-roadtruck operations.
Project Objective:
The specific objective of this three-phase testing project was to quantify reductions inexhaust emissions and fuel consumption for Toyota automobile truck transporters innormal operation that can be attributed to retrofit operation with Rentar in-line FuelCatalysts.
Project Scope and Test Vehicles:
The testing project involved five heavy-duty truck tractors taken out of normal service.All trucks were powered by the same model Caterpillar C-12 diesel engine. ThesePenske tractors are equipped with automobile transport modifications and include the"fifth wheel" for car carrying trailer connection. Each tractor was driven by dual (transaxle) drives, but the drive-line to the rear drive was disconnected by Toyota prior toarrival for testing at the laboratory location to facilitate chassis dynamometer operation.

Test Protocol:
( 1
The test data were all obtained by measuring emissions and fuel consumption whileoperating the truck tractors over a standard transient cycle chassis dynamometer testingsequence. In addition, a follow-on separate measurement of emissions and fuelconsumption was accomplished while operating the trucks at a steady-state speed of 40miles/hour on the chassis dynamometer with steady-state power loading of 45 HP.Finally, snap-idle and steady-state opacity measurements were made by a standardprocedure using a Wager opacity instrument. The transient cycle used in this projectwas developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is labeled UDDS-HDwhich stands for Urban Dynamometer Driving Sequence-Heavy Duty. The California AirResources Board (CARB) has approved this testing protocol for evaluation of retrofitdevices to reduce pollution from medium and heavy-duty diesel engines. A graphicalpresentation of the cycle is shown in the enclosed figure. Each test involves operatingthe trucks for 1060 seconds over a transient cycle reaching speeds of 58 MPH. Thetotal distance is 5.5 miles and the average speed is 18.86 MPH.
Dilute exhaust emissions of hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides ofnitrogen (NOx), carbon dioxide (C02) and particulates (PM) were captured by use of astandard CVS dilution sampling system and measured with standard Horibainstrumentation . Fuel economy was calculated by the conventional carbon balancemethod and all emissions were corrected for dilution, temperature , humidity andbarometric pressure in exact accordance with the applicable Code of FederalRegulations as specified in CFR 40 Part 86. All testing was done using the diesel fuel inthe tank when the trucks were delivered . It was assumed that this fuel from the Toyotasupply system was California standard No.2 diesel fuel. No fuel sampling or analysiswas conducted for any of the tests.
Triplicate tests for each testing condition were conducted on each truck tractor to provideaverages that allow comparison of data confidence at the 95% probabil ity level.
Dynamometer loading for these tests involved inertia weights of 8,875 pounds andpower settings of 45 horsepower at 50 miles per hour. These are the limits of thedynamometer capability and represent a relatively light load for the trucks that weretested considering that these tractors are capable of haulinq loads up to 80,000 pounds.However, it should be remembered that in the prescribed comparison testing, they weretested in Phase III with exactly the same loading under exactly the same conditions as inPhase I. Accordingly , the relative data comparisons can be meaningful, especially whenthese trucks are operating empty or under relatively light load conditions.
After the emission testing was completed in Phase I a Rentar in-line Fuel Catalyst wasinstalled on each truck engine and the trucks were returned to normal service. Aftermileage accumulation in Phase II the truck tractors were returned for Phase III emissionand fuel consumption testing.

All testing was accomplished by Emission Testing Services (ETS), a division of OisonEngineering, Inc. at their ECOlogic Engine and Emissions Testing facility in Fullerton,California. Both ETS and ECOlogic are recognized and listed by the California AirResources Board (CARB) as capable emission test laboratories . EPA listing andrecognition also exists.
Test Results :
The final test results for the five vehicies are summarized in the enciosed summarytable . Triplicate tests were conducted for the Phase I baseline data as well as for thePhase III data that were measured after mileage accumulation with the Rentar in-lineFuel Catalyst installed. The enciosed summary tabie provides the calculations ofpercent improvement in emissions and fuel consumption using the averages of triplicatemeasurements from each truck comparing the Phase III data after mileage accumulationwith the Rentar device installed to the baseline data measured in Phase I. The standarddeviation for the five truck average improvement and the 95% confidence limits aroundthe five truck averages are shown. The 95% confidence limits define the plus/minusboundaries for the five truck averages in each case with 95% confidence.
Detailed emission and fuel consumption data for each of the triplicate tests for eachtruck are provided in five separate reports and form the basis for the summary data inthis summary report.

The specific objective of this three-phase testing project was to quantify reductions inexhaust emissions and fuel consumption for Toyota automobile truck transporters innormal operation that can be attributed to retrofit operation with Rentar in-line FuelCatalysts.
Project Scope and Test Vehicles:
The testing project involved five heavy-duty truck tractors taken out of normal service.All trucks were powered by the same model Caterpillar C-12 diesel engine. ThesePenske tractors are equipped with automobile transport modifications and include the"fifth wheel" for car carrying trailer connection. Each tractor was driven by dual (transaxle) drives, but the drive-line to the rear drive was disconnected by Toyota prior toarrival for testing at the laboratory location to facilitate chassis dynamometer operation.

Test Protocol:
( ::1
The test data were all obtained by measuring emissions and fuel consumption whileoperating the truck tractors over a standard transient cycle chassis dynamometer testingsequence. In addition, a follow-on separate measurement of emissions and fuelconsumption was accomplished while operating the trucks at a steady-state speed of 40miles/hour on the chassis dynamometer with steady-state power loading of 45 HP.Finally, snap-idle and steady-state opacity measurements were made by a standardprocedure using a Wager opacity instrument. The transient cycle used in this projectwas developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is labeled UDDS-HDwhich stands for Urban Dynamometer Driving Sequence-Heavy Duty. The California AirResources Board (CARB) has approved this testing protocol for evaluation of retrofitdevices to reduce pollution from medium and heavy-duty diesel engines. A graphicalpresentation of the cycle is shown in the enclosed figure. Each test involves operatingthe trucks for 1060 seconds over a transient cycle reaching speeds of 58 MPH. Thetotal distance is 5.5 miles and the average speed is 18.86 MPH.
Dilute exhaust emissions of hydrocarbons (THe), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides ofnitrogen (NOx), carbon dioxide (C02) and particulates (PM) were captured by use of astandard CVS dilution sampling system and measured with standard Horibainstrumentation . Fuel economy was calculated by the conventional carbon balancemethod and all emissions were corrected for dilution, temperature , humidity andbarometric pressure in exact accordance with the applicable Code of FederalRegulations as specified in CFR 40 Part 86. All testing was done using the diesel fuel inthe tank when the trucks were delivered . It was assumed that this fuel from the Toyotasupply system was California standard No.2 diesel fuel. No fuel sampling or analysiswas conducted for any of the tests.
Triplicate tests for each testing condition were conducted on each truck tractor to provideaverages that allow comparison of data confidence at the 95% probability level.
Dynamometer loading for these tests involved inertia weights of 8,875 pounds andpower settings of 45 horsepower at 50 miles per hour. These are the limits of thedynamometer capability and represent a relatively light load for the trucks that weretested considering that these tractors are capable of hauling loads up to 80,000 pounds.However, it should be remembered that in the prescribed comparison testing, they weretested in Phase III with exactly the same loading under exactly the same conditions as inPhase I. Accordingly, the relative data comparisons can be meaningful, especially whenthese trucks are operating empty or under relatively light load conditions.
After the emission testing was completed in Phase I a Rentar in-line Fuel Catalyst wasinstalled on each truck engine and the trucks were returned to normal service. Aftermileage accumulation in Phase II the truck tractors were returned for Phase III emissionand fuel consumption testing.
