Vehicle Emissions Laboratories of the Joint Research Centre

The JRC's Vehicle Emissions Laboratory based in Ispra comprises major testing facilities capable of conducting emissions tests on on-road vehicles and non-road machines. 

Since 2004 VELA is complemented by tests conducted on the road using Portable Emissions Measurement Systems installed on board of a variety of vehicles, ranging from passenger cars to large heavy-duty engines. Research findings have provided scientific support for the development of new elements in EU Directives.
