The New European Driving Cycle is a driving cycle consisting of four repeated ECE-15 driving cycles and an Extra-Urban driving cycle, or EUDC. The NEDC is supposed to represent the typical usage of a car in Europe, and is used, among other things, to assess the emission levels of car engines.

[edit] Plot
Note: The old European driving cycle ECE-15 driving cycle lies between the time period 0s to 800s. For the urban drive cycle the ECE-15 driving cycle is used, and for urban/sub-urban drive cycle the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) is used to simulate representative driving conditions.
[edit] Criticism
The NEDC was constructed with old power-per-vehicle-mass and low maximum velocities. The transient velocities are much steeper in practice and more dynamic caused by the power surplus of modern turbocharged engines[1]. Also, the maximum cycle speed does not represent the velocities currently seen on European trunk roads, dual carriageways and motorways, which often tend towards 160 km/h (100mph).
