More Data, More Control: Only with Firefly PEMS

What is GlobalMRV’s Firefly Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS)?

Firefly is a unique 24/7 data acquisition technology that monitors vehicle performance, exhaust emissions and external impact factors in real driving environments (RDE).

Because Firefly tests mobile and combustion engines at a fraction of the cost per data hour of established technology, engineers can conduct more tests, gain more insight, and make more informed decisions. Testing more than 50+ impact factors, Firefly PEMS robust data analytics solutions can help manufacturers and businesses better gauge the environmental impact of their vehicle’s engine output.

More Accurate, Reliable, and Seamless Data Acquisition for Real Driving Environments

How does Firefly PEMS work?

Firefly PEMS can be positioned anywhere in or on the vehicle vehicle. This device hooks up with wiring, and is connected to your vehicle’s OBD port. Installed in an industry-leading 15-20 minutes, Firefly PEMS gives a smooth signal of delivery, allowing users to measure, verify, and report CO, CO₂, NO, HC, and O₂ exhaust emissions, volumes of powerful vehicle data, and other key calibration data.

Our Firefly PEMS delivers accurate and reliable emissions data all while measuring trace ambient pollutants and delivering comprehensive data reports. Best of all, Firefly can be rented as part of our Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) package.

Onsite, online, phone, and email support are included with a qualifying Firefly PEMS HaaS agreement.
