REWARD Final Results

The presentation of REWARD final results took place on Wednesday 18 April at Transport Research Arena 2018 (TRA) in Vienna.
This event was organized by AVL and the REWARD partners in collaboration with the dieper consortium.

The one day event was a joint stakeholder event with the dieper project, focusing mainly on the REWARD results, including the future research outlook and the future take up of the results via dieper and other initiatives. These future scenarios have been discussed in a lively stakeholder panel discussion.
During the breaks, there were possibilities to view the demonstrators (2 vehicles) and a poster exhibition was organised.

Vision and Objectives

The overall objective of the REWARD project is to develop the knowhow, intellectual property rights and technical capabilities to adequately and cost-effectively produce cleaner, highly efficient Diesel powertrains and aftertreatment technologies for future cleaner class A, B, C, D and E passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) up to 3,500 kg that “go beyond Euro 6 limits under Real Driving conditions” (EU6 RDE).

All technologies: friction and wear reduction measures, exhaust gas treatment concepts, fuel-efficient 2-stroke and 4-stroke Diesel engine concepts will be advanced to TRL 6 or TRL 7 and integrated in two demonstration vehicles. Read more...
