Madrid, test field for a new «super-radar»

A Spanish company tests w pieces of equipment capable of measuring the particles, the nitrogen and the CO2 of each vehicle, in addition to its speed. It will allow us to detect irregular practices from the owners, such ad disassembly of catalyst and generalized frauds, such as the Dieselgate.

Road traffic accounts for up to 70% of emissions in urban areas, a problem that the different qadministrations have approached in a very different way, restricting, for exampe, the access of vehicles to the central areas of town according to whether their license plate are even or odd.

The inefficient measurem which does not allow to discriminate the vehices that pollute the most, could have its days counted, not only by the new enviromental lables of the DGT (Department of General Traffic), which classify the park according to its pollution potential, but also thanks to new radars capable of accurately measure the emissions produces during normal circulation of the vehicle. These new machines which will be tesgted for two years in Madrid, detected more than  serial modifications made to vehicles by the owners.
