Discrepancies between type-approval and real-world fuel consumption and CO2 values in 2001-2011 European passenger cars
Working papers
Wed, 2012-04-04This paper compares fuel consumption / CO2 values of passenger cars from different sources and aims at quantifying the discrepancy between laboratory type-approval values and real-world values, including a retrospective analysis for the years 2001-2011 to determine if the gap between the two datasets has increased over time. Potential explanations for the discrepancies found are discussed and possible practical solutions for the future outlined.
