The evaluation of road vehicles requires standardized methods for the determination of fuel consumption and emissions. A constitutive part of such methods is the drive cycle that is typically used for chassis dynamometer tests. A large variety of country or region specific drive cycles for vehicle type approval exists worldwide. Other drive cycle definitions result from research projects related to specific assessments in vehicle development and evaluation. This chapter introduces selected drive cycles that are considered relevant as they apply for regions with large vehicle fleets or are otherwise commonly used. The focus here is on passenger cars; however, notably, such drive cycle definitions also exist for buses and trucks.
