Testing to WLTP

PLACEHOLDER FOR PORSCHE IMAGE ALT

WLTP stands for "Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure“. This is the EU test procedure applicable since September 2017, for measuring exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.

WLTP is a standardised way of measuring exhaust emissions and energy consumption across petrol, diesel, CNG and electric vehicles, ensuring results are comparable between engine / motor types worldwide. Real driving data is used to provide more realistic results taking into account, for example, longer driving distances and shorter idle times.
