Efficiency norms fuel to wheel

1. Efficiency Norms- Fuel to Wheel

4. • Under the new norms, the automotive
industry will have to ensure that the mileage
of cars on Indian roads improves by 10% by
2021.
• The second phase, for which the government
did not specify a deadline, will begin from
2022 and targets a fuel efficiency
improvement by 30%.

5. In order to increase the mileage,
• reduce the friction
• increase combustion or
• reduce the inertia of the vehicle.
• Better fuel efficiency could also be achieved
reducing the weight and air resistance

6. BEE Activities
1.Fuel Efficiency Standards for passenger cars
2.Fuel Efficiency standards for Heavy duty vehicle
3.Labeling of cars
4. Fuel Economy norms for 2 wheelers
5.Fuel Efficiency Standards for Tractors and
subsequent labeling
6.Electric vehicles (EV) and charging infrastructure
for EVs

7. Fuel Efficiency standards for Heavy
duty vehicle
• Defines constant speed fuel Consumption
Standard for Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs), in
diesel fuel consumption value (liter per 100
kilometer) derived from the equations given in
the notification S.O.2670(E) notified on 16th
August,2017 and effective from 1 st April,2018.
• Specifies the standard, for testing &
determination of the Fuel Consumption of a
Heavy Duty Vehicles.
• Specifies Enforcing body to regulate the notified
fuel consumption standards

8. • On and from 1st April, 2018, diesel vehicles of category M3 and N3
with gross vehicle weight of twelve tonnes and above, complying
with BS-IV emission norms, shall be tested for constant speed fuel
consumption as specified by the Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways, till the time Bureau of Indian Standards notify
corresponding standards.
• M3 : Vehicles used for the carriage of passengers, comprising more
than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat, and having a
maximum mass exceeding 5 tonnes. (Bus)
• N3: Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and having a maximum
mass exceeding 12 tonnes. (Commercial Truck)

13. Labelling Program
• Specifies the fuel efficiency labeling requirements for passenger cars under
M1 category of motor vehicles covered under Central Motor Vehicle Rules
(CMVR) 1989 being manufactured, sold and purchased in India.
• The test procedure, parameters and test conditions for the Type Approval and
Conformity of Production testing of motor vehicles shall be as per the
procedures given under MoRTH/CMVR/TAP115/116.
• Star Rating performance indicator in terms of India Fuel Economy Rating (IFER
– I).
• Indicate the fuel consumption, measured in terms of the fuel on which the
vehicle will run
M1 Vehicles used for carriage of passengers, comprising not more than eight seats in addition to the driver's = 9.( Larger
Than Standard Car eg: London Cab / E7 Type Vehicle 8 seat + Driver.)

18. The EU has passed Regulation 1222/2009 making it mandatory for tyres to be
accompanied with appropriate labels as specified in the regulation.
The EC passed the Regulation 1222/2009 with a goal to improve the safety, the economic
and environmental efficiency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient and safe tyres
with low noise levels. The label specifications are aligned with the standards specified in
UNECER-117,and were made mandatory from 2012.

19. • UN ECE Regulation No. 117, or UNECE R117.
• The regulation, first passed in 2005,
introduced requirements on the maximum
rolling sound emissions of tyres.
• The maximum RR limits were introduced with
separate limit values specified for class C1
tyres (passenger car tyres), class C2 tyres (light
commercial vehicle tyres) and
classC3tyres(truckandbustyres).
