Core offering

HEAT develops and sells the EDAR (Emission Detection and Reporting) system, an eye-safe, laser-based remote sensing device that uses Differential Absorption Lidar (DiAL) to measure exhaust emissions (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, NOx, hydrocarbons, particulate matter) from moving vehicles in real time on roadways. The technology is sold or deployed as turnkey monitoring networks to government environmental agencies, transport authorities, and cities implementing Low Emission Zones, and it can operate unattended 24/7/365 on multi-lane highways without calibration.

Product overview

Hager Environmental & Atmospheric Technologies (HEAT) offers a single unified product: the EDAR (Emission Detection and Reporting) system. EDAR is a revolutionary touchless remote-sensing technology that enables accurate detection of real-world emissions from thousands of vehicles on a daily basis. The technology uses infrared spectroscopy and Differential Absorption Lidar (DiAL) methods to measure exhaust emissions as vehicles pass under the device, which is mounted on poles or gantries above roadways. EDAR detects and quantifies various gases including CO, CO2, NO, NO2, NOx, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter, reporting measurements in multiple formats (g/kg fuel, ppm, g/km, g/mile). The system was developed with NASA technology and was featured in NASA's 2017 Spinoff publication.

Products and services

• EDAR (Emission Detection and Reporting) System An eye-safe, laser-based remote sensing device that uses Differential Absorption Lidar (DiAL) infrared spectroscopy to detect and quantify vehicle exhaust emissions (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, NOx, total and speciated hydrocarbons, particulate matter) from moving vehicles on roadways in real time. It is the only unmanned remote sensing system capable of multi-lane highway deployment and operates unattended 24/7/365 without calibration, with the unique ability to measure exhaust temperature to discriminate cold-start vehicles from true high-emitters. Sold to government environmental agencies, transport authorities and cities for continuous monitoring, Low Emission Zone enforcement, anti-tampering campaigns, and vehicle inspection programs.

Broad incumbents

• Opus Group: Provides vehicle inspection and emissions testing services globally, including I/M programs and remote sensing pilots. Closest large-scale competitor to HEAT in the vehicle emissions monitoring market, with much broader service breadth.
• HORIBA: Global leader in automotive and environmental test equipment, including emissions analyzers and stack gas monitoring. Competes with HEAT in the measurement hardware space but serves a much broader industrial and laboratory customer base.
• AVL List: Major powertrain and vehicle emissions testing solutions provider for OEMs and regulators. Adjacent competitor in real-driving emissions and certification testing, with significantly larger scale and broader automotive exposure.
• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification company that runs vehicle inspection programs and emissions testing services in many countries. Comparable to HEAT in the service delivery layer for I/M programs and remote sensing pilots.
• Bureau Veritas: International TIC company operating vehicle inspection and environmental compliance services. Overlaps with HEAT's government-channel emissions testing and monitoring deployments at a much larger scale.
• Intertek: Global testing and certification provider with automotive and environmental services including emissions testing. Comparable as a service-based TIC competitor to HEAT's government contracts.

Direct peers

• Sensors, Inc. (Engineered Solutions): Manufactures emissions measurement instrumentation for engine and vehicle testing, including PEMS and laboratory systems. Comparable to HEAT as a specialist emissions measurement hardware company serving automotive and regulatory customers.

Emerging players

• Emissions Analytics: Real-world vehicle emissions data and testing provider focused on independent measurement of in-use vehicles. Comparable to HEAT in the real-world emissions intelligence space, with a stronger consumer/research focus and smaller hardware footprint.

Regional players

• Aeroqual: Designs and manufactures air quality and gas monitoring sensors, including portable and fixed monitors. Comparable to HEAT as a gas-phase monitoring sensor company, but focused on ambient air quality and urban/smart-city deployments rather than vehicle exhaust remote sensing.

Others

• LI-COR Biosciences: Manufacturer of infrared gas analyzers and trace gas measurement instrumentation used in atmospheric and emissions research. Comparable to HEAT in the underlying spectroscopy-based gas measurement technology, but oriented toward research and laboratory customers rather than roadway remote sensing.
