WLTP

WLTP

Worldwide harmonized Light-duty vehicles Test Procedure
is a global harmonized standard for determining the levels of pollutants, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of traditional and hybrid cars, as well as the range of fully electric vehicles.

The key differences between the old NEDC and new WLTP test are that WLTP:

  • has higher average and maximum speeds
  • includes a wider range of driving conditions (urban, suburban, main road, highway)
  • simulates a longer distance
  • has higher average and maximum drive power
  • looks at steeper accelerations and decelerations
  • tests optional equipment separately.
