Results Overall deviation between the simulation test and the interpolated values is less than 0.7 g/km for the standard gasoline engine with an interpolation range of 32.8 g/km Intermediate range „individual“ vehicle, which is most likely to be configured by the customer, shows even less deviation in all phases.

Conclusion Interpolation between measured best- and worst-case-vehicle regarding to rolling resistance coefficient, aerodynamic drag and weight is at least as accurate as measuring more configurations for interpolation. This is because in a CO2-measurement of an individual set of parameters the tolerances and measurement insecurities add up (RLD + dyno setting + WLTP measurement) and with a reasonable number of measurements the overall-tolerance is at least 1 g/km rather 2-3 g/km (0,1 l/100km). It is demonstrated that the 2-test-interpolation method also works for best-case to worst-case differences of over 30g/km if only mass, rolling resistance and aerodynamics are changed in a car.
