European Drive Cycle
• “New European Drive Cycle” or NEDC for short.
• Combination of two older cycles, the “Urban Drive Cycle” (UDC) and the “Extra Urban Drive Cycle” (EUDC).

FTP75 Drive Cycle
• One of the US cycles is called the FTP75.
• This was an attempt to build a cycle from “real world” driving habits.

EU 6.2 Emission Legislation
• Reduced emissions limits
• Inclusion of “real world” driving
– Environmental
– Geographic
– Driver style / behaviour
– Weight
• Details not confirmed – but boundaries are expected

Centre for Low Emissions Vehicle Research - CLEVeR
Bridging the gap between the lab and the real world
• This facility combines the ability to replicate on-road, real-world driving scenarios with the experimental accuracy and repeatability of the lab environment.
• £2.6M funding from EPSRC
• Facility will be unique within the UK
• Due to open end of Q2 2015
• Available for OEM’s, Universities and SME’s
