Research on the Test and Evaluation Method of Fuel Consumption Based on Chinese Light-Duty Test Cycle

Considering the defect of current test method and learning from the developing experience of other methods around the world, a method adopted China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) which is suitable for the real condition of Chinese road was put forword. Through comparing the test results of 20 vehicles with big data statistics, the results obtained by this method are close to those from customers and the difference between them is around 6%. Thus, the rationality of this method is proved. Furthermore, this method can evaluate the real fuel consumption of vehicle running on Chinese roads.
