6.4.2.1 The transmission shall be operated in accordance with those specified in C.1.2.6.5 of GB 18352.6-20161). Automatic transmission vehicles without a master mode shall be tested in the worst shift mode, i.e., the mode with the highest fuel consumption, which shall be determined based on fuel consumption in all modes.
6.4.2.2 For manual transmission vehicle equipped with a gear shift indicator, upon the application of the manufacturer, the gear operation can be conducted in accordance with the gears indicated by the gear shift indicator as required by the manufacturer, while the results of the emission test shall meet the limit requirements of Type I test specified in corresponding emission standards for this type of vehicle. For gear shift indicator with upshift prompts only, the operation shall be carried out in accordance with C.1.2.6.5 of GB 18352.6-2016 during deceleration1). The manufacturer shall provide a description document specifying the indicating method, function, use method, and control strategy of the gear shift indicator before the test, and ensure that the gear shift indicator control strategy of the produced vehicle is consistent with that of the vehicle under test.
6.5 Emission calculation
The emissions of CO2, CO and HC shall be calculated in accordance with those specified in Appendix CE of GB 18352.6-20161).
7 Calculation of fuel consumption
7.1 The fuel consumption at each speed segment and the combined fuel consumption shall be calculated respectively using the HC, CO, and CO2 emissions obtained by the method in clause 6.
7.2 The fuel consumption, expressed in L/100km, shall be calculated using Equations (1) and (2):
a) For vehicles with petrol engines:
FC= [(0.866×HC)+(0.429×CO)+(0.273×CO2)] (1)
b) For vehicles with diesel engines:
FC= [(0.865×HC)+(0.429×CO)+(0.273×CO2)] (2)
where,
FC——the fuel consumption, L/100km;
HC——the emission of hydrocarbon, g/km;
CO——the emission of carbon monoxide, g/km;
CO2——the emission of carbon dioxide, g/km;
D——the density of test fuel at 288K(15℃), kg/L.
7.3 Except for gasoline and diesel vehicles, the fuel consumption of vehicles powered by other types of fuels may be calculated with reference to Annex D.
7.4 Correction of calculated fuel consumption obtained by non-type tests or non-production conformity tests without using reference fuel:
a) If the hydrogen-carbon ratio of gasoline and diesel used is not a fixed value, it is allowed to be corrected2).
b) If ethanol-added gasoline (E10) or gasoline with more than 10% of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is adopted, and the effect of oxygen on the percentage of carbon in the fuel and the change in fuel density have been considered in the test calculation, the calculated fuel consumption can be multiplied by 97% or 98%, respectively, and the results thus obtained are used as the calculated value.
7.5 Type approval value shall be determined according to the following methods:
a) If the difference between the composite value of fuel consumption calculated through measurement by the inspection body and the composite value declared by the vehicle manufacturer satisfies Equation (3), the composite value declared shall be taken as the type approval value.
(3)
where,
FCMC——the composite value of fuel consumption calculated through measurement by the inspection body, L/100km;
FCDC——the composite value of fuel consumption declared by the vehicle manufacturer, L/100km.
b) If the result obtained from the above equation is >+4%, another test shall be carried out for the vehicle.
If, after the two tests, the difference between the composite average of fuel consumption calculated through the two measurements and the composite value declared by the vehicle manufacturer satisfies Equation (4), the composite value declared by the vehicle manufacturer shall be taken as the type approval value.
(4)
where,
FCMC ave——the composite average of fuel consumption calculated through the two measurements, L/100km.
c) If the result obtained by the composite average calculated through the two measurements is still >+4%, a final test shall be carried out for the vehicle. The composite average of results obtained from three tests shall be taken as the type approval value.
d) After the first or second test, if the fuel consumption result fails to meet the requirements, the higher value measured may be used as the type approval value as required by the vehicle manufacturer and approved by the department in charge of fuel consumption.
e) No changes or adjustments to the engine or vehicle are allowed during multiple tests.
f) If the emission type test conducted in parallel with the fuel consumption test is required to be conducted more than once, the fuel consumption obtained from the subsequent emission tests will no longer be considered as long as the type approval value of the fuel consumption has been determined.
g) If the composite value declared by the vehicle manufacturer is adopted as the type approval value, the arithmetic average of the fuel consumption results (L/100km) of each speed segment obtained by the test shall be multiplied by the adjustment factor FC_AF, as shown in Equation (5):
(5)
where,
FCave c——the composite value of each speed range obtained by measurement and calculation, which shall be calculated using Equation (6), L/100km;
(6)
where,
N——the number of speed segments for the test cycle, which is 4 for WLTC cycle, and 3 for China automotive test cycle;
FCave i——the arithmetic average of fuel consumption of the i-th speed segment, L/100km;
Di——the theoretical driving distance of the i-th speed segment, km.
h) If the composite value declared by the vehicle manufacturer is not adopted as the type approval value, the type approval value of the fuel consumption of each speed segment shall be calculated based on the arithmetic average of the fuel consumption test results of the corresponding speed segment.
