New European Driving Cycle - Measurements

Measurements

Several measurements are usually performed along the cycle. The figures made available to the general public are:

• Urban fuel economy (first 780 seconds)
• Extra-Urban fuel economy (780 to 1180 s)
• Overall fuel economy (complete cycle)
• CO₂ emission (complete cycle)

The following parameters are also generally measured to validate the compliance to European emission standards:

• Carbon monoxide
• Unburnt hydrocarbons
• Nitrogen oxides
• Particulate matter
