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