WHO’S INTRODUCING WLTP?

Legend to the map:

Green - European Union (28 countries)
Light grey – other 4 European countries (Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland)
Black - Candidate countries: Turkey (WLTP applies for imported vehicles; for locally produced vehicles NEDC applies), Israel and outlying EU regions (still unclear): Réunion Island, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, St. Martin, Mayotte
Dark grey - Partial implementation (planned): South Korea, Japan (WLTP without “extra-high” test cycle phase), India, China (CO2 emissions only, NEDC is used for consumption figures)

WLTP VS. NEDC

• about a 50% longer cycle time • more than double the cycle distance • 131 km/h – higher maximum speed • 47 km/h – higher average speed • half the idling time

ALL IN THE DETAIL…

WLTP requires a higher test mass for vehicles (15% of the maximum payload of the vehicle).

TIMELINE


WLTP more comprehensive than NEDC

WLTP takes additional equipment into account, e.g. bigger wheels, GPS, and spoilers. This influence on CO2 and consumption is measured by the impact the equipment has on rolling resistance, aerodynamics and weight.
