ISO 14034 ETV can be used to verify the performance claims of these innovative technologies and systems.
Manufacturers of fuel additives, engine treatments, and aerodynamic enhancements often use the ISO 14034 standard to verify performance claims about fuel savings and greenhouse gas mitigation, based on independent testing.
Transportation is more than just vehicles. It also includes supporting infrastructure and management systems. ISO 14034 ETV is used to verify the performance and effectiveness of technologies and systems that prevent, control and remediate emissions and contaminated runoff from roads, fuel depots, and parking lots, thereby protecting waterways and ecosystems near major roadways.
Municipalities and commercial transit operators often rely on ISO 14034 to support objective fleet management and procurement decisions. For example, the City of Toronto applied ETV-specific protocols to verify the fine particulate matter removal efficiency of street sweepers used to clean city streets, allowing the city to demonstrate the environmental benefits of ‘value-based performance’ versus ‘lowest bid’ procurement.
Use of the ISO 14034 ETV standard to verify transportation technologies and related infrastructure across global markets helps establish a baseline for benchmarking environmental performance. A clean transport technology verified under ISO 14034 in one country can often leverage that data to gain market entry and regulatory approval in other countries without undergoing additional testing.
