ARAI Achieves Landmark WLTP Level 1B Emission Durability Certification
ARAI is proud to announce the successful completion of the first-ever Deterioration
Factor (DF) Evaluation in collaboration with Stellantis India. The critical project
was conducted at our state-of-the-art Emission Test Facilities at ARAI Homologation
Technology Centre-Emission Certification Lab, Pune, under the UN-defined Worldwide
harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), specifically UN Regulation 154-02
targeted for the Japan Market- part of export Homologation from India.
This pathbreaking study was carried out on the Jeep Commander, a diesel passenger car
designated for Japan exports, where WLTP has been adopted for Level 1B compliance.
Over a rigorous mileage accumulation of 80,000 km using a robotic driving system,
emission tests were conducted at strategic intervals (3k–5k, 20k, 40k, 60k & 80k km).
Using the 3-phase WLTP cycle (Low, Medium, High) and the SRC drive cycle, ARAI derived
both Multiplicative and Additive Deterioration Factors in accordance with ECE R 154-02,
ensuring that vehicles continue to meet emission standards throughout their intended
lifespan.
These advancements align with the upcoming AIS 175 WLTP regulations, reinforcing
ARAI’s commitment to world-class development and homologation capabilities.
