Talk:New European Driving Cycle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know what this means?

is there a track wher they drive this cycle for 20 minutes?

Is it straight?

Are there any hills?

What controls are there for wind speed and direction?

Without these questions being addressed, the whole lot seems pointless.

Yes, it is a pretty appalling article. "is there a track wher they drive this cycle for 20 minutes?" No, it is done on a dyno. "Is it straight?" Yes "Are there any hills?" No "What controls are there for wind speed and direction?" No wind. The resistance curve of the dyno is set to give the same aero drag and so on as a car running on a flat track in still air.
