I want the complete official diesel and gasoline emissions data for
the 2005 Smart Fortwo automobile.
This will include test sheet diagrams on all the emission tests for City,
Highway, Deterioration factors, cold start, and at different KM/Miles.

Emissions paperwork differs from country to country.  Is there a
particular country that you're asking about?

The country does not matter because the engine will be the same and
therefore the test data will be the same. I would prefer to find data
from Canada or if possible the U.S. but Germany, France, and
Austrailia would be great.

Emissions data are generally NOT the same from one country to the next
-- especially between EU and the US -- because the emission standards
are different, and cars are 'tuned' before importing to meet a
particular country's standards.

However, I will take a look and see what I can find.

Hi!

I was able to find UK emissions data for the Smart Fortwo Coupe and
Fortwo Cabrio. It doesn't say the year of the model however but the
site mentions that it contain the most up to date information.

The data I have includes the following:

1. Fuel Consumption - Metric [l/100 km]
a. Metric Urban (cold)
b. Metric Extra Urban
c. Metric Combined

2. Fuel Consumption - Imperial [mpg]
a. Imperial Urban (cold)
b. Imperial Extra Urban
c. Imperial Combined

3. Emissions
a. CO2 Emissions [g/km]
b. HC Emissions [g/km]
c. Particulates
d. Noise Level [dB(A), moving]
e. NOx Emissions [g/km]
f. Euro Standard
g. HC+NOx Emissions [g/km]
h. Fuel Cost / 12000 miles

The data doesn't come in the form of the way you indicated above like
emission tests for City, Highway, Deterioration factors, and cold
start. However, the other data components it provide might be of use
to you.

Would these sets of data be good enough for a legitimate answer?

Thanks!

To easterangel's clarifacation. The info you say you have is that for
both diesel and gasoline? And is it done by a reconized emissions
test? If the answer is yes may I see a sample of what you have?

Hi.

a. It has data for petrol, diesl and petrol hybrid.
b. The data is from the UK government or the Vehicle Certification Agency.

Sample Data: (Please be reminded that when I post my official answer,
I will provide you with the link to the specific page for the data.
The links provide them in an easier to read format.)

I will only give you snippets on the numbers important to you for this
sample since I might be in trouble of copyright violations if I copy
everything here.

Model:  fortwo coupé
Description:  50 bhp 175 rear tyres
Engine Capacity:  698

Fuel Consumption - Metric [l/100 km]  
Metric Urban (cold):  6.0
Metric Extra Urban:  4.0
Metric Combined:  4.7
 
CO2 Emissions [g/km]:  113
HC Emissions [g/km]:  0.063
Noise Level [dB(A), moving]:  74.0
NOx Emissions [g/km]:  0.039
CO Emissions [g/km]:  0.810
HC+NOx Emissions [g/km]:  0.102

As you can see from the data elements I listed in my earlier
clarification, there are still other numbers contained therein but
with this sample you can already get a picture of what to expect.

Would you want me to post the links to the other data as an offical answer?

Thanks.

To Easterangel. That would do. Please send me the link. Make sure that
all passwords are included if any are needed so I can access the data
without any problems.

Hi! Thanks for the question and for accepting my method in formulating an answer.

The following are direct links to the emissions data for the different

Hybrid part here since it seems that based on the data; it doesn?t
apply to the SMART Fortwo Model.

You can search for these figures yourself to verify the links above.
Here is the search page for various car model emissions data. Again I
did not include the Petrol Hybrid since the web page only has data
applicable for the Honda and not any other car.

VCA Car Fuel Data: Search Page

Search terms used:

Note: Also searched at the VCA website
 
I hope these links would help you in your research. Before rating this
answer, please ask for a clarification if you have a question or if
you would need further information.

I was unable to find the Diesel information on that site for the
fortwo. I was able to find the information on other diesel cars but
not the one I needed. All the petrol info was there and I was happy
with that but before I rate the answer would you like to see if you
can get the diesel info?

Clarification of Answer by easterangel-ga on 10 Jan 2006 06:19 PST
Hi again!

I apologize. It seems that the website did not accurately registered
the right data when the page was accessed and it seems it doesn't
really have data for diesel.

Again I'm sorry.

I tried to find a substitute but I cannot find an official or another
government based website that has data as detailed as VCA UK.

Anyway, I found this site providing CO2 emissions for the Fortwo Coupe
Diesel. Please tell me if this will be ok.

I hope that this would be of help to you.

Regards,
Easterangel

I wanted to give 4 and half stars but there was not an option for
that, and since the answer was not easy, 90% of what I asked was
better than the 0% all others gave me.
