1)The specified gasoline consumption and emission information have been decided in accordance to the measurement procedures prescribed by regulation. Since 1st September 2017, sure new autos are already being type-approved in accordance to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a extra practical check process for measuring gasoline consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) might be changed by the WLTP in phases. Owing to the extra practical check circumstances, the gasoline consumption and CO2 emissions measured in accordance to the WLTP will, in lots of circumstances, be greater than these measured in accordance to the NEDC. Therefore, the utilization of CO2 emission values measured in accordance to WLTP for automobile taxation from 1st September 2018 on could cause adjustments on this regards as properly. For additional info on the variations between the WLTP and NEDC, please go to www.audi.de/wltp.
We are at the moment nonetheless required by regulation to state the NEDC figures. In the case of latest autos which have been type-approved in accordance to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP information. 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 refer to 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 totally different automobile sorts. Additional tools and equipment (e.g. add-on components, totally different tire codecs, and so on.) could change the related automobile parameters, reminiscent of weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, at the side of climate and visitors circumstances and particular person driving model, could have an effect on gasoline consumption, electrical energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the efficiency figures for the automobile.
Further info on official gasoline consumption figures and the official particular CO2 emissions of latest passenger vehicles might be present in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is accessible 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.
