US: Heavy-duty: CSC

The City Suburban Cycle (CSC) is a chassis dynamometer test for heavy-duty vehicles developed by the West Virginia University. The CSC is also abbreviated as CSHVC (City Suburban Heavy Vehicle Cycle).

The test is also available in a &#8220;route&#8221; version&mdash;the City Suburban Heavy Vehicle Route (CSHVR)&mdash;where the vehicle speed is given as a function of travelled distance, rather than time.

Vehicle speed over the duration of the CSC driving cycle is shown below.
