Which is more accurate, CLTC or NEDC range?
1 Answers
CLTC range is more accurate. Compared to NEDC, CLTC includes a wider range of road condition information: urban conditions, suburban conditions, and highway conditions, with a cycle time of 1800s. The differences between the two are as follows: NEDC: The NEDC range test standard is not only outdated but also significantly differs from actual road conditions in China compared to Europe. As a result, the same car might achieve 500 km in NEDC testing, but consumers may only get 400 km or even less in real-world usage. Under conditions like highway driving or using air conditioning, the range could be even shorter. CLTC: CLTC was developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with industry experts from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center spending three years on research and development. The test standard was derived from data covering 41 representative cities, nearly 4000 vehicle models, and over 30 million kilometers. Directly speaking, the CLTC conditions cover a broader and more comprehensive range, with a longer duration.
