When it comes to emissions and fuel consumption, today there is a wide gap between the levels that are obtained in theory and practice. Therefore, legislators will prescribe future measurements to be made in real-world operation. Emission measurements in real-world operation are already required by the EURO 6 standard for trucks. This procedure is currently in preparation for passenger cars as well and will revolutionize the standardized measuring methods. In view of an increasing number of variants the early validation of modern drive concepts poses further challenges. The combination of innovative test rig technology and powerful simulation tools can provide answers to these issues.
