Description

The 13 Mode test includes a sequence of 13 steady-state modes. The emissions are averaged over the entire cycle using a set of weighting factors and are expressed in g/kWh. The test emphasizes low-speed driving conditions and is characterized by low average engine loads and low exhaust temperatures.

There are differences in some test modes for diesel and gasoline/LPG engines and the weighting factors are different.
