What Does Combined Fuel Consumption Mean?
1 Answers
Combined fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The 100-kilometer fuel consumption is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions, where the value measured by a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis is converted into speed parameters, and the theoretical experimental data of the 100-kilometer fuel consumption is calculated using a specified speed model. Additional details are as follows: Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption is also divided into constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when a car travels at a constant speed on good roads. Road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy index measured when a car travels in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time specifications on the road, also known as multi-process road cycle fuel consumption. Methods to Reduce Fuel Consumption: Checking the air conditioning system in summer is essential; frequent sudden braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption; the air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles should not be turned on too aggressively.
