| description | The Worldwide harmonized Light duty Test Procedure saw its light first as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Global Technical Regulation in 2017. However, it remains unclear how much the deviation is between the actual and test fuel economy. In this study, we analyzed the deviation between the actual and test (JC08 and WLTC) fuel economy and examined how well regional characteristics such as average travel speed and temperature could explain the deviation using 182–1035 drivers and 19–52 car models data in Japan. As a result, (1) more than a 30% discrepancy was observed between the actual and JC08 mode test fuel economy, and the higher the test fuel economy, the larger the deviation; (2) regarding WLTC mode fuel economy, the deviation is 19% and constant regardless of the test fuel economy; (3) average travel speed and temperature can explain approximately 8% of the discrepancy. |
