Division 1 TESTING METHODOLOGY — INTRODUCTION
United Kingdom
In order to determine the CO2 reduction that can be attributed to the use of the Porsche AG ‘coasting’ technology it is necessary to establish all of the following:
- (1)
the testing vehicles;
- (2)
the testing procedure to define the modified testing condition (modified NEDC speed profile);
- (3)
the testing procedure to be followed to determine the CO2 emission of the eco-innovative vehicle under modified testing conditions;
- (4)
the testing procedure to be followed to determine the CO2 emission of the baseline vehicle under modified testing conditions;
- (5)
the formulae to calculate the CO2 savings;
- (6)
the formulae to calculate the statistical error in the CO2 savings.
- 1.1THE TESTING VEHICLES
- 1.2THE TESTING PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE THE CO2 EMISSION OF THE ECO-INNOVATIVE VEHICLE UNDER MODIFIED TESTING CONDITIONS (MODIFIED NEDC SPEED PROFILE) (EMC)
- 1.3THE TESTING PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE THE CO2 EMISSIONS OF THE BASELINE VEHICLE UNDER MODIFIED TESTING CONDITIONS (HOT START NEDC) B TA hot
- 1.4THE FORMULAE TO CALCULATE THE CO2 SAVINGS
- 1.5DETERMINING THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESULTS
- 1.6DEMONSTRATION THAT THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 1 g CO2/km IS EXCEEDED IN A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT WAY
