Fuel, engine and after-treatment technologies are powerful levers to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions, however these benefits can only be guaranteed through routine maintenance and equipment monitoring. Portable emissions measurement equipment can be an effective solution to address the latter point. An investigation into the required equipment and in-field test methods was conducted in this study.
