Angebotstool für Serviceanfragen DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH · Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1 · 73760 Ostfildern www.dat.de Note The currently valid Fuel Efficiency Labelling of Passenger Cars Regulations (Pkw- EnVKV) date from the year 2012. Back then, fuel economy and emission figures in the European Union had to be measured in accordance with the so-called NEDC test pro- cedure. Since 1 September, 2018, fuel economy and emission figures for passenger cars registered within the EU have had to be measured in accordance with the more realistic WLTP procedure. Since a revised Pkw-EnVKV that prescribes the use of WLTP figures is not expected to be published until mid-2021, the fuel economy and emis- sion figures required by the Pkw-EnVKV must still be stated on the basis of the NEDC figures on account of the legal situation. Accordingly, these guidelines also contain fuel consumption and emission figures calculated on the basis of the NEDC test pro- cedure. The WLTP has been used solely to calculate the annual tax, because the WLTP figure has been used since 1 September, 2018, to set the tax for new vehicles. Economical driving Vehicles that run on fossil fuel create carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Traffic is responsible for around 20 per cent of CO2 emissions in Germany, with passenger cars accounting for around half of this figure. Overall, however, innovative technology has made it possible to maintain absolute CO2 emissions for traffic at the level of those in 1990, despite the fact that there is now a considerably higher volume of traffic. In the future, the CO2 emissions attrib- utable to traffic will drop significantly, because alternative carbon-neutral drive tech- nologies are increasingly coming onto the market. A. Tips and information In these guidelines for purchasing a new vehicle you will find important tips and in- formation on what you should watch out for before you buy the vehicle so that you can save quite a bit afterwards. This makes driving more enjoyable and you will also be making a valuable contribution to environmental and climate protection. Fuel consumption labelling for passenger cars Fuel consumption labelling for passenger cars in Germany uses a colour scale for visualisation purposes. This is designed to provide clear information on how effici- ent a certain model is, i.e. whether its fuel consumption figures are above or below average. Every vehicle on the market is thus grouped into a CO2-efficiency category, taking into account its weight, and labelled with the corresponding colour: • V ehicles with fuel consumption and emission figures that are significantly better than average for their weight class are grouped into green categories (categories A+ to C). • t he vehicle‘s figures are average, it is grouped under yellow. (category D) • V ehicles whose figures are below average are given a red label (categories E to G). This colour scale immediately enables you to identify which vehicle is the most fuel- efficient in its ‘weight class’, because a compact car is compared with a compact car and a family van is compared with a family van. You will be familiar with this system, because it has been used to label refrigerators and washing machines for a number of years. 1 Information über Kraftstoffverbrauch, CO2-Emission und Stromverbrauch i. S. d . Pkw-EnVKV Consumption as a cost factor Low fuel consumption pays off every time you fill up your car. It can easily add up over the course of a year: if a car consumes seven litres of super unleaded fuel per 100 km and has an annual mileage of 15,000 km, the fuel bill will be around € 1,523 per year, based on a price of € 1.45 per litre. If the car used one litre less, this would amount to a saving of € 218 per year. You should also try to use less power when driving electric vehicles, stated in kWh. Consumption can vary considerably between similar vehicles. For comparison purpo- ses, starting on page 6 you will find a detailed list featuring the fuel consumption figures for all vehicles on sale in Germany, calculated using a standard EU-wide pro- cedure. 2 The vehicle, drive technology and driving style determine the CO2 emissions A vehicle’s CO2 emissions depend on its weight and the type of engine and drive technology. Electric vehicles do not emit any CO2 while driving. CNG and LPG vehicles emit less CO2 than comparable vehicles that run on petrol. Clean diesel is a central pillar in the efforts to further reduce CO2 emissions. The driving style also significant- ly influences the efficiency of the new vehicle’s drive technology. Tips on how to save fuel and money You can cut your fuel consumption – and thus also CO2 emissions – without having to sacrifice comfort. You will also save money. The correct driving style can save up to 25% in fuel. You can find more detailed information at www.neues-fahren.de. The power consumption of an electric vehicle can also be reduced in the same way, there- by also increasing its range. Many of the suggestions aimed at saving fuel also apply to the efficient use of electric vehicles. Golden rules for efficient driving: 1. I mmediately drive off after starting the engine: Leaving the engine running to warm up is unnecessary and wastes fuel. 2. D rive at low engine speed: Upshift quickly and accelerate by applying two-thirds of the gas pedal. This saves fuel. 3. D rive prudently: Use momentum and let the vehicle roll to a standstill whenever possible, instead of speeding up to a red light and then braking hard. 4. U se modern technology: Take your foot off the accelerator instead of applying the clutch during slight deceleration on the flat or when travelling downhill. This saves fuel. 5. S witch off the engine when at a standstill: At a level crossing, for example, or when waiting for brief periods of time. 6. D rive with slightly increased tire pressure: Check the tire pressure at least every three weeks. It should be around 0.2 bars higher than the figure indicated for when the vehicle is not loaded. 7. R emove all unnecessary ballast: Clean out your car. Less weight also means less fuel consumption. 8. D rive ‘topless’: Only use roof racks and other structures when needed. 9. U se power consumers wisely: If you park in the shade in the summer and air the car well before setting off, you do not have to use the air conditioning as much. 10. Maintain the vehicle: Blocked air filters, worn spark plugs and a poorly tuned engine are real gas guzzlers. Car check The car should always be in a technically perfect condition. A dirty air filter, poor spark plugs and faulty electrics not only reduce the vehicle‘s performance, but also increase its fuel consumption. That is why you should regularly maintain your vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer‘s instructions or have it serviced by a garage. The same applies to electric vehicles. You should refer to the vehicle‘s manual for information. The fuel consumption figures for all new passenger cars in Germany The guidelines contain the fuel economy and power consumption figures as well as the CO2-emissions for all passenger cars on sale in Germany at the time of printing. You will also find the essential technical data here for the engine and transmission. This data provides you with the ideal basis for comparing different vehicle types. 3 For clarity purposes: The guidelines contain the fuel economy / power consumption figures and CO2-emis- sions calculated using the NEDC test procedure in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 in its applicable version. The consumption and CO2 figures were calcu- lated on a test stand for an urban cycle with a cold start and an extra-urban cycle when idling and driving at constant speed, but also with acceleration phases and top speeds of 120 km/h. The total consumption figures and the CO2-emissions combined reflect the average figures over both cycles. The consumption and CO2 figures may vary from the type test values under real driving conditions (depending on the vehic- le load, driving style, etc.). By heeding the fuel-saving tips, however, you could even achieve or better these figures. These guidelines are available online at www.dat.de. B.
