2005-06 In-Service Vehicle Testing Programme
Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Fuel Consumption. Although there are no mandatory in-use compliance requirements for fuel consumption and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions measurements, these parameters are subject to Conformity of Production requirements for new vehicles. Whilst these requirements do not strictly apply to in-use vehicles, the fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions measurements from this programme have been assessed against the conformity of production requirements to give an indication of whether in-use vehicles differ significantly from the type approval measurements. For CO2, an initial sample of three vehicles is tested and the test statistic defined in directive 80/1268 EEC (as amended) is calculated. By comparing the test statistic with the Pass and Fail decision thresholds a Vehicle model can be determined to Pass, Fail, or require more vehicles to be tested.
