Fuel Consumption Label
In 2008 the government introduced an updated ADR 81/02; Fuel Consumption Labelling for Light Vehicles to align measurement and reporting of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission performance in line with the most recent version of UN ECE Regulation 101 and to amend the fuel consumption label to report separately on urban and extra-urban fuel consumption.
The industry supported aligning the ADR with the international standard and the new labels were introduced from 1 September 2008 for new models and 1 April 2009 for all models.
With the updated ADR 81/02, the FCAI cooperated with the government to upgrade the Green Vehicle Guide to provide for reporting of the additional information.
