Hi, I probably don't understand everything with translations,The video is saying Honda could have been fined 100m euros if it hadn't combined it's CO2 figures with Teslas. It has come out badly because plug-in hybrids are deemed to be rated typically at about 65 against the target of 95 thus lowering the average for the whole brand, but Honda doesn't make any. In practice they're not that good as people often forget to charge them and drive on petrol carrying the heavy batteries around. Also Honda has hardly sold any 'E' cars so that doesn't help either. The Jazz is rated over 100 for CO2 so it is above the EU target.
but I can't understand a thing,
the machine is homologated as EURO 6, so it means that it complies with that legislation,
why shouldn't it be regular?
(Sorry for the mistakes I went out Google translate)
Yes, I see,The target that Honda would have missed was for the average of all cars sold that year rather than a particular model
but when you put the probe in the exhaust pipe and measure the CO2 values these must comply with the EURO 6 standards,
otherwise what is the meaning of the regulations?
Identical use and driving style... How is it possible that emissions 'on paper' give a completely different outcome than in practice?The probable answer is that the older Yaris numbers used less challenging NEDC test procedure the whereas the Mk 4 Jazz numbers use the more challenging WLTP test cycle. I suspect that many manufacturers program their vehicles to give the optimum test results whereas Honda aim for the best real life performance (but forgot about winter). I'm sure that getting the Mk 4 Jazz below 100g/km CO2 could be done.
If you use Spritmonitor, each time you enter fuelling it works out your actual CO2 wh8ch is useful.
