NEDCstandardi
NEDCstandardi is a fictional international standard framework for evaluating automotive energy efficiency and emissions, designed as a successor or companion to the traditional NEDC driving cycle. It defines a suite of standardized driving cycles, measurement methodologies, and reporting formats intended to enable cross-border comparability of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions across vehicle categories.
Developed in a hypothetical multinational collaboration during the early 2020s, NEDCstandardi builds on broader driving profiles
The scope covers passenger cars, light-commercial vehicles, and electric powertrains. It specifies ambient conditions, test durations,
Adoption and impact would aim to improve comparability of lab results across regions and reduce discrepancies
Critics have raised concerns about increased testing complexity and costs, potential gaming of test protocols, and
