EDAR is the only remote sensing technology that can image the exhaust plume.

EDAR remote sensing allows for the accurate detection of real-world emissions from thousands of vehicles daily.

EDAR accurately detects the temperature of the exhaust to ensure that the vehicle tested is “warmed-up," therefore eliminating any false positive high emitters.

EDAR is a proven technology that can differentiate between and detect emissions across all classes and vehicle types.

Stakeholder event 24 October 2018: Preparing for the future European Emission Standards for Light and Heavy Duty Vehicles 

Vehicle emissions remain far above the regulated emissions standards as car manufacturers are struggling to close the gap between lab testing and real-world conditions

Today, even years after the Volkswagen scandal, and despite improvements to testing and enforcement, vehicle emissions from multiple manufacturers frequently exceed emissions standards in real-world driving conditions.  (Source)

Meeting emissions standards is even more important now as research shows many correlations between air pollution exposure and health issues, including:

• Mental health disorders such as Schizophrenia and Depression (Source)

• Eye disease (Source)

• Heart disease 

• Stroke 

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 

• Lung cancer

• Acute respiratory Infections in children (Source)

• Asthma attacks (Source)

"Urban air pollution in particular is increasing by 8 per cent every five years, and 95 per cent of cities worldwide do not meet World Health Organization’s guidelines." (Source)
