This book presents in detail the most important driving and engine cycles used for the
certification and testing of new vehicles and engines around the world. It covers chassis and
engine-dynamometer cycles for passenger cars light-duty vans heavy-duty engines non-road
engines and motorcycles offering detailed historical information and critical review. The book
also provides detailed examples from SI and diesel engines and vehicles operating during
various cycles with a focus on how the engine behaves during transients and how this is
reflected in emitted pollutants CO2 and after-treatment systems operation. It describes the
measurement methods for the testing of new vehicles and essential information on the procedure
for creating a driving cycle. Lastly it presents detailed technical specifications on the most
important chassis-dynamometer cycles around the world together with a direct comparison of
those cycles.
