| Summary: | A dump truck with a maximum designed total mass of 24500 kg was selected to measure the emission characteristics of pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) under fully-loaded and unloaded conditions at the same simulated road with different road slope, same driver and vehicle model by using the engine-inthe- loop methodology. The results show that driving at gradient road will result in an increase in power and total emissions. The brake specific emissions of gaseous pollutant and CO2 are lower at gradient road, while the brake emission of particle number are higher at gradient road. Road slope affects exhaust temperature so as to affect nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Under unloaded conditions, long-slope conditions are more likely to cause an increase in NOx emissions.
