standard is based on the emission
cycles to determine CO2 emission
consumption.
Urban driving is assumed to make up around
1/3 of the overall consumption
extra-urban driving around 2/3. Cold starting
and acceleration phases are additionally
taken into account. The new figures are
consequently higher than the old ones.
The new regulation also requires
emission level to be stated.
The figure given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
