NEDC
New European Driving Cycle
The old European lab cycle that WLTP replaced. NEDC figures should not be compared with WLTP or EPA numbers, because they come from different tests.
NEDC is the European lab test cycle that preceded WLTP. In the UK, WLTP replaced NEDC for official fuel consumption and CO2 figures of new cars in September 2017, and it became mandatory for all new cars powered by an internal combustion engine by September 2018.
You will still meet NEDC numbers in older brochures and archives, and in Australia. There, label rule ADR 81/02, in force since 1 April 2009, is based on NEDC. Its replacement, ADR 81/03, uses WLTP and applies to new vehicle models from 1 July 2026. The trap is comparing an NEDC figure against a WLTP or EPA one: they are different tests, so the figures are not comparable.
CarPairly stores WLTP and EPA figures and labels the cycle on every figure. It does not publish NEDC figures.
Differs by market
As of September 2026, Australia's label rule ADR 81/02 is NEDC-based. Its replacement, ADR 81/03 (WLTP), applies to new vehicle models from 1 July 2026.
