Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed by
1999/100/EC) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urban driv ing is rated at approx.
1
/
3
and off-road driving with approx.
2
/
3
(urban and extra-urban consumption).
Cold starts and acceleration phases are
also tak en into consideration.
The specification of CO
2
emission is also a
constituent of the directive.
The figures given m ust not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a p artic ular vehicle.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 1999/100/EC takes
account of the vehicle's kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regula tions. Optional extras ma y result in
slightly higher fuel consumption and CO
2
emission levels than those quoted.
