- Abstract
- UNCMOBILE4 is a mobile source emission factor model that has been designed to include the benefits of a fuel switch toward methanol fuel in future scenarios. UNCM0BILE4 is a modified version of EPA's emission factor model M0BILE4. MOBILE4's overall structure is kept. Two vehicle classes, Light Duty Flexible fueled vehicles running on Methanol (LDFM) and Light Duty Flexible fueled vehicles running on Gasoline (LDFG), have been added to the original eight vehicle classes of the EPA model. UNCMOBILE4 provides HC, CO and NOx average emission rates from in-use methanol-fueled cars and from vehicle fleets of changing composition under a wide range of conditions. The LDFM and LDFG calculations are mostly based on data from Gabele (1990). Some correction factor calculations are the same as for Light Duty Gasoline Vehicles (LDGV) until explicit research data becomes available. The model has been prepared in a way that the extensive but not yet released data from the Auto/Oil study on flexible fueled cars can be inserted.
