Why must gear-shifting points for manual transmissions during a WLTP test be calculated based on engine power availability rather than using fixed speed-based shift markers?



The WLTP, or Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure, is a global standard used to measure fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. It uses a dynamic test cycle that mimics real-world driving. Gear-shifting points must be calculated based on engine power availability, rather than fixed speeds, because vehicles vary significantly in their mechanical design, weight, and engine performance. A fixed speed marker, such as shifting into fourth gear at 50 kilometers per hour, would be....
