the corresponding model specified in Appendix A ~ Appendix C; however, the contents
of A.7, B.7, C.5.3, C.6.3, C.7.3, C.7.4 shall not be filled in.
4.3 A sample vehicle representing the certified model or family shall be submitted to
the testing agency responsible for the type certification test.
5 Determination of fuel consumption
5.1 For gasoline, diesel, dual-fuel, bi-fuel models, the model fuel consumption type
certification value shall be determined, according to GB/T 19233-2020, using the
Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC).
5.2 For externally rechargeable hybrid electric vehicles (OVC-HEV), the model OVC-
HEV fuel consumption type certification value and OVC-HEV power consumption
type certification value shall be determined, according to GB/T 19753-2021 using
WLTC; for non-externally rechargeable hybrid electric vehicles (NOVC-HEV), the
model NOVC-HEV fuel consumption type certification value shall be determined,
according to GB/T 19753-2021 using WLTC. For externally rechargeable hybrid
models that use gasoline, the power consumption shall be converted into gasoline fuel
consumption according to GB/T 37340. For externally rechargeable hybrid models that
use diesel, the power consumption shall be converted into diesel fuel consumption
according to GB/T 37340. For externally rechargeable hybrid models that use other
types of fuel, the power consumption shall be converted into gasoline fuel consumption
according to GB/T 37340. Before 2030, the fuel consumption converted from the power
consumption shall be calculated as zero 1).
5.3 For pure electric models, the energy consumption type certification value shall be
determined according to GB/T 18386.1-2021, which shall be converted into the
corresponding gasoline fuel consumption according to GB/T 37340. Before 2030, its
fuel consumption shall be calculated as zero 1).
5.4 For hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the energy consumption shall be determined in
accordance with GB/T 43252-2023. Before 2030, the fuel consumption shall be
calculated as zero 1).
5.5 For CNG vehicles, the comprehensive cycle fuel consumption test shall be
simulated on the chassis dynamometer in accordance with GB/T 29125, to determine
the gas fuel consumption, then converted to gasoline fuel consumption in accordance
with GB/T 29125.
5.6 For LNG and LPG vehicles, the comprehensive cycle fuel consumption test shall
be simulated on the chassis dynamometer in accordance with GB/T 29125, to determine
the gas fuel consumption, then converted to gasoline fuel consumption in accordance
with GB/T 29125.
5.7 For methanol vehicles, the methanol fuel consumption type certification value and
equivalent gasoline or diesel fuel consumption shall be determined in accordance with
QC/T 1130-2021. For other alcohol-ether fuel models, the alcohol-ether fuel
