The specified gas consumption and emission knowledge have been decided in response to the measurement procedures prescribed by regulation. Since 1st September 2017, sure new autos are already being type-approved in response to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a extra practical check process for measuring gas consumption and CO₂ emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) can be changed by the WLTP in levels. Owing to the extra practical check situations, the gas consumption and CO₂ emissions measured in response to the WLTP will, in lots of circumstances, be greater than these measured in response to the NEDC. Therefore, the utilization of CO₂ emission values measured in response to WLTP for automobile taxation from 1st September 2018 on may cause modifications on this regards as effectively. For additional info on the variations between the WLTP and NEDC, please go to www.audi.de/wltp.
We are presently nonetheless required by regulation to state the NEDC figures. In the case of recent autos which have been type-approved in response to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP knowledge. It is feasible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily as well as till such time as that is required by regulation. In circumstances the place the NEDC figures are specified as worth ranges, these don’t check with a selected particular person automobile and don’t represent a part of the gross sales providing. They are supposed completely as a method of comparability between completely different automobile sorts. Additional gear and equipment (e.g. add-on elements, completely different tire codecs, and so forth.) could change the related automobile parameters, resembling weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, along with climate and site visitors situations and particular person driving model, could have an effect on gas consumption, electrical energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and the efficiency figures for the automobile.
Further info on official gas consumption figures and the official particular CO₂ emissions of recent passenger vehicles might be discovered within the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is offered freed from cost in any respect gross sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
