the new standard has been designed to be more representative of the real and modern driving conditions. to pursue this goal, the wltp is 10 minutes longer than the nedc (30 instead of 20 minutes), its velocity profile is more dynamic, consisting in quicker accelerations followed by short brakes. moreover, the average and the maximum velocities have been increased to 46,5 km/h and 131,3 km/h respectively. the distance covered is 23,25 km (more than double than the 11 kilometers of the nedc).
