Where do we come from? This existential question can be answered relatively easily for the LENS project by looking at the previous Horizon 2020 project CARES, short for City Air Remote Emission Sensing. The project, which ran from 2019 to 2023, developed and explored...
Although legislation and type approval of L-category vehicles (LV) mainly cover average driving conditions, much of the local environmental impact is caused by specific conditions at which the highest noise levels and emissions occur. Considering the need to reduce...
Tampering poses a severe problem that may lead to harmful effects on the environment and human health alike. It further contributes to the deterioration of pollutant and noise emission performance, especially of L-category vehicle (LVs). Thus, LENS has published an...
The LENS project focuses on the means to mitigate noise and air pollution by providing solutions to measure and curb emissions, as well as support enforcement personnel to identify pollution measures, such as illegal tampering. These pilots will test the noise-...
Just like other European countries, France has mitigated urban air pollution levels. Nevertheless, the challenge remains, as environmental and public health impact of (urban) air pollution remains a threat. On 26 September, PRIMEQUAL, a multi-agency air quality...
Noise pollution from category L vehicles is a major challenge in both urban and rural areas. High sound pressure levels negatively influence human health and the environment. To address these concerns, the current type-approval tests for category L vehicles are being...
