Opening of the new "VELA 7" facility to test fuel consumption and emissions of trucks and buses. The new installation at the JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) realistically simulates wind drag, tyre / road friction and full drive cycles for real-life articulated lorries of up to 40 tonnes or 12m long buses. It comes at a crucial time when the definition of implementation guidelines for new emission standards, notably the Euro VI regarding heavy duty vehicles, must be completed by 1st April 2010.
