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.
