The paper deals with the current regulations on the reduction of passenger cars emissions. It describes a simulation model of a vehicle in Ricardo Ignite software, a comparison of fuel consumption (production CO₂) of a conventional vehicle with an internal combustion engine in the “New European Driving Cycle“ and “Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle” driving cycles. The goal was to create a vehicle simulation model and to verify it with measured data. In the future, this simulation model can be used for various optimizations which will reduce vehicle fuel consumption (CO₂ production) due to constantly more restrictive limits. At the end of the paper, there is a demonstration of a reduction of CO₂ emissions when using the so-called downsizing.
