What does vehicle fuel consumption mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle fuel consumption refers to the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers driven at a certain speed, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the vehicle model when driven at specified speeds. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the vehicle is driven at a constant speed on good road surfaces, while road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when the vehicle is driven on roads according to specified speed and time specifications in repeated cycles, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.
