More Data, More Control: Only with Firefly3 PEMS

What is Global MRV’s Firefly3™ Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS)?

Firefly3™ is a unique 24/7 data acquisition technology that monitors vehicle performance, exhaust emissions, and external impact factors in real driving environments (RDE).

Designed for versatility and affordability, Firefly3 tests mobile and combustion engines at a fraction of the cost per data hour compared to traditional technology. This enables engineers to conduct significantly more tests, uncover deeper
insights, and make better-informed decisions. By capturing data on more than 50 impact factors, Firefly3’s robust data analytics platform helps manufacturers and
businesses accurately assess and reduce the environmental impact of their vehicle’s engine output.

Empowering Advanced Analytics and AI-Driven Insights

Firefly3™ PEMS is purpose-built to supply rich, high-resolution, structured datasets that integrate seamlessly into Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning (DL), Machine Learning (ML), and Predictive Analytics platforms. These continuous, high-frequency data streams power advanced modeling, engine optimization, emissions forecasting, predictive maintenance, and the development of cleaner, more efficient powertrains—turning raw real-world data into actionable intelligence at scale.

Real-Time Visibility for Development, Calibration, and Research Teams

Development teams, calibration engineers, and researchers gain immediate, live access to Firefly3’s cloud-connected dashboards and alerts. They can instantly see the real-time impacts of design changes, calibration adjustments, or experimental modifications on key project metrics—including emissions profiles, fuel efficiency, performance, and overall environmental compliance—directly from real-world driving conditions. This instant feedback loop dramatically shortens development cycles, eliminates guesswork, reduces costly re-testing, and accelerates innovation across every project stage.
