This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which are capable of being operated on public and private roads. The procedure applies only to vehicles using batteries as their sole source of power. It is the intent of this document to provide standard tests which will allow for the determination of energy consumption and range for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) based on the federal emission test procedure (FTP) using the urban dynamometer driving schedule (UDDS) and the highway fuel economy driving schedule (HFEDS) and provide a flexible testing methodology that is capable of accommodating additional test cycles as needed. Additionally, this SAE Recommended Practice provides five-cycle testing guidelines for vehicles performing supplementary testing on the US06, SC03, and cold FTP procedure. Realistic alternatives should be allowed for new technology.

This Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Recommended Practice establishes uniform chassis dynamometer test procedures for hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) that are designed to be driven on public roads. The procedure provides instructions for measuring and calculating the exhaust emissions and fuel economy of HEVs driven on the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and the Highway Fuel Economy Driving Schedule (HFEDS), as well as the exhaust emissions of HEVs driven on the US06 Driving Schedule (US06) and the SC03 Driving Schedule (SC03). However, the procedures are structured so that other driving schedules may be substituted, provided that the corresponding preparatory procedures, test lengths, and weighting factors are modified accordingly. Furthermore, this document does not specify which emissions constituents to measure (e.g., HC, CO, NOx, CO2); instead, that decision will depend on the objectives of the tester.

To define a test procedure that will provide a repeatable measure of a vehicle's launch response and maximum accelleration performance.

To subjectively evaluate engine starting behavior and driveability characteristics of a motor vehicle which has been soaked at ambient temperature for a given time period after attaining a stabilized engine coolant temperature. This SAE Recommended Practice also defines driveability defects and the rating system. This evaluation may be affected by ambient temperature, altitude, fuel, and the road system. The vehicle should be evaluated with all fuels recommended by the manufacturer. A partial list comprises reformulated gasoline, ethanol/gasoline and methanol/gasoline blends of various proportions, diesel #1, and diesel #2.

This procedure is a modification of the urban driving cycles noted in SAE J1082 and which is run on a suitable road or test track. The procedure yields cold start/warm-up fuel economy values indicative of consumer level at the ambient condition of the test. Within referenced limitations, the procedure can be utilized to determine the fuel economy differential among vehicles or between vehicle changes. Purpose This SAE Recommended Practice provides a uniform test procedure for measuring the fuel economy of light-duty vehicles during cold start and warm-up operation (motor vehicles designed primarily for transportation of persons or property and rated at 4500 kg GVW (10 000 lb) or less) on suitable roads.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing electric battery-powered vehicles which are capable of being operated on public and private roads. It is the intent of this document to provide standard tests which will allow various performance characteristics of electric vehicles to be cross-compared on a common basis in specifications, technical papers, and engineering discussions. The tests concern attributes of the total vehicle system rather than those of its subsystems and components. Tests of components such as batteries are the subject of separate procedures. The road tests specified in this document are recommended for use whenever possible particularly to establish vehicle performance specifications. The dynamometer procedures are included primarily to facilitate development testing. Section 3 provides definitions of terminology used in this document.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing electric battery-powered vehicles which are capable of being operated on public and private roads, and is to replace the range and vehicle energy economy sections SAE J227a. The procedure addresses electric vehicles (EVs) only. It is the intent of this practice to provide standard tests which will allow for determination of energy consumption and range based on the Federal Emission Test Procedure (FTP) and the Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure (HWFET). Realistic alternatives should be allowed for new technology. Performance is judged on the total vehicle system and the battery. Dynamometer test procedures are specified in this document in order to minimize the test-to-test variations inherent with track testing and to adhere to standard industry practice for energy consumption and range testing.
