Unlike most other fuel economy measurements, these tests are performed on the road using a Portable Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS). Now, after 18 months of testing 60 vehicles with more than 430 road tests covering more than 40,000 km (24,854 miles), the partners have published a report on their real-world fuel economy findings.
liters/100km (48 mpg US) equivalent to CO 2 emissions of 109g/k. The transmission chooses the best compromise between fuel economy and acceleration, so there’s no risk of stalling and the engine will neither labour nor over-rev. These figures are identical to those of a manual gearbox.
Order books have opened for one of the lowest CO2 emission combustion cars currently available. The new Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion promises fuel economy of 88.3 mpg on a combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 85g/km. That''s a 15 per cent improvement on the fuel economy of the previous model, w[.]. Volkswagen'
The final standards are projected to result in an average industry fleet-wide level of 163 grams/mile of CO2 in model year 2025, which is equivalent to 54.5 l/100 km), if achieved exclusively through fuel economy improvements. Earlier post.).
Hyundai IONIQ 5 (Source: Hyundai) In a new EPA report, Hyundai ranked second behind only Tesla in lowering CO2 emissions and improving fuel economy. Meanwhile, real-world fuel economy improved by 0.6 to 26 mpg, also a record. Since MY2004, CO2 emissions have decreased by 27%, or 123 g/mi.
