About
Yosuke Kondo is a leading expert in automotive emissions engineering, specializing in Real Driving Emissions (RDE) compliance and vehicle development methodologies. His primary research focuses on bridging the gap between on-road testing and controlled laboratory conditions, a critical challenge for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) navigating increasingly stringent global emissions regulations. Kondo’s major contribution is the development of the "RDE Plus" methodology, a comprehensive Road to Rig (R2R) approach that enables whole-vehicle RDE compliance across moderate and extended boundary conditions, including variations in temperature, altitude, and driving dynamics. His most cited work, "RDE Plus - A Road to Rig Development Methodology for Whole Vehicle RDE Compliance: Overview" (2020), has garnered 11 citations, while its companion paper detailing the road-to-chassis perspective has received 6 citations. These publications provide OEMs with a systematic framework to validate emissions performance on chassis dynamometers, reducing reliance on costly and variable real-world testing. Kondo’s work is notable for its practical impact on automotive engineering, offering a scalable solution to meet future regulatory demands while maintaining vehicle performance. His research is essential reading for engineers and researchers focused on sustainable mobility and emissions control.
