This target could be made
even harder to hit by the adoption of the new World Light Duty Test

The WLTP has been designed under United Nations guidance to be “more
reflective” of typical fuel economy in real-world driving conditions.
The current EU combined cycle economy test, which is carried out under
laboratory conditions, is coming under increasing criticism from drivers who cannot achieve the quotedfigures.
