Systems and methods for managing catalyst temperature based on location

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a controller, a set of emission regulations based on a location of a vehicle;
• determining, by the controller, a target temperature of a catalyst of an aftertreatment system of the vehicle in response to the determined set of emission regulations;
• comparing, by the controller, a current temperature of the catalyst to the determined target temperature;
• and
• in response to the current temperature of the catalyst being below the determined target temperature, providing, by the controller, a thermal management command to increase the catalyst temperature toward the determined target temperature.

A system, comprising:

• a controller comprising at least one processor coupled to a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the controller to perform operations comprising:
• determining a set of emission regulations based on a location of a vehicle;
• determining a target temperature of exhaust gas in an aftertreatment system of the vehicle in response to the determined set of emission regulations;
• comparing a current temperature of the exhaust gas to the determined target temperature;
• and
• in response to the current temperature of the exhaust gas being below the determined target temperature, providing a thermal management command to increase an exhaust gas temperature toward the determined target temperature.
