the World since 1. September 2018 for a new car, a new test procedure. With the WLTP more realistic fuel consumption and CO2 emission values are to be determined, as it was during the NEDC procedure. Problem: car dealers do not have to distinguish the usually higher WLTP-measured values.
New measuring method leads to a higher Vehicle tax
until at least the beginning of April 2019 can be applied to new cars, with the supposedly better the NEDC values, warns the Auto Club Europa (ACE).

By switching to WLTP, the passenger Car energy consumption labelling Ordinance (Pkw-EnVKV) in Germany is affected. This regulates the consumer information on fuel economy and CO2 emissions of new cars. The Revision must be examined according to ACE, but only , and this could drag on until the end of the first quarter of 2019.
