State of play Current cycle allocation scheme may lead to some “breaking points” with regard to the applied cycle phases to the different classes (2+3). This might mislead to special design of vehicles to reduce CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption applying different WLTC cycle phases. 2

Analysis • Some contracting parties (e. g. IND and JPN) as well as OICA emphasized the need for a certain threshold between the maximum speed of the vehicle and the maximum cycle speed to avoid to too high percentage of wide open throttle operation. • The “vehicle maximum speed boundary” (red lines in graph) would this way be defined as follows for the different vehicle classes: – v_max (vehicle, boundary) = v_max (cycle phase) * [1, 10] -> proposal was agreed in principle, however with reservation with regard to the height of the margin as the applied cap leads to lower CO 2 emissions. • Application of a “safety margin” could lead to: – the “vehicle maximum speed boundaries” would be: v_max (vehicle) = v_max (cycle phase) * [1, 10] – the maximum cycle speed for the vehicle within those boundaries would be capped at: v_max (cycle phase) = v_max (vehicle)/(1 + X) (X < 0, 1) -> in order to reasonably restrict the possible CO 2 “benefit” X must be < 0. 1! – Example for X = 7% and v_max (vehicle) = 110 km/h: v_max (cycle phase) = 110 km/h / 1, 07 = 102, 8 km/h 3

How to possibly go further on? • Early decision on cycle allocation necessary not to delay WLTP GTR decision! • Quickly evaluate possible CO 2 impact of different approaches for decision. • Chosen approach shall not provide misleading vehicle design incentives or CO 2 benefits for manufacturers.
