CAR EMISSIONS TESTING

Introduced in 2017, the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) was introduced to replace the old NEDC lab test.

A lab test to measure fuel consumption, CO2 and pollutant emissions from cars:

■ Test cycle data based on real-driving data ■ Variety of driving phases tested■ Powertrain configuration of each car tested for the car’s lightest and heaviest version

New WLTP test from September 2017 RDEThe Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test measures pollutants while a car is driven on public roads, complementing the WLTP lab test.

Portable Emission Measuring System (PEMS) measures data collected while car is driven in a variety of conditions:

Low speed (urban roads)Medium speed (rural roads)High speed (motorways)Low and high altitudesYear-round temperaturesAdditional vehicle payloadDifferent gradients

RDE provides a snapshot of a vehicle’s performance on the road

Why do we still need a lab test?The new WLTP test is much more representative and lab tests allow for a standardised, repeatable testing model which enables comparisons of one car’s emissions to the next.

SMMT Industry ForumIndustry Forum was formed

in 1994, initially as a unique

collaboration between leading

vehicle manufacturers, SMMT

and government to improve the

performance and competitiveness of

the UK’s automotive supply chain.

Continued measurable success has led to

sustained growth into many other sectors including

aerospace, construction, domestic appliances,

electronics and food. Industry Forum now provides

support to blue chip organisations in more than 30

countries across five continents.

The Motor OmbudsmanThe Motor Ombudsman is the

automotive dispute resolution

body. Fully-impartial, it is the

first ombudsman to be focused

solely on the automotive

sector, and self-regulates

the UK’s motor industry through its comprehensive

Motor Industry Codes of Practice which have each

been approved by the Chartered Trading Standards

Institute’s Consumer Codes Approval Scheme (CCAS).
