One of the issues for the industry to confront in moving away from the NEDC test is that the WLTP typically halves the measurement of CO 2 reduction gained from first generation stop-start systems, which characteristically reduce CO 2 emissions on the NEDC by 5%. This reduces to 2.5% when measuring the same vehicle on the WLTP.
