WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure)

The Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) is a standardized method used to measure a vehicle’s fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and pollutant levels. It involves controlled laboratory tests that simulate real-world driving conditions, including different speeds, accelerations, and stops. WLTP aims to provide consumers with more accurate and consistent information about a vehicle’s environmental performance across different markets, helping them make informed choices and encouraging manufacturers to produce cleaner, more efficient vehicles. It replaces older testing methods that often underestimated emissions and fuel usage.
