LEV vs Euro3 emissions
LEV vs Euro3 emissions
(OP)
is there a significant difference between the LEV touted by some japanese car makers for their recent vehicles e.g. Nissan VQ30DET LEV Cedric/Maxima and the Euro3 emissions standards. Specifically will a LEV meet Euro3?

[0.45*(grHC_cold505+grHC_860)/(dist_cold505+dist_860)]+[0.55*(grHC_hot505+grHC_860)/(dist_hot505+dist_860)]
Excuse the poor notation, if it's unclear let me know. Basically, the cold 505 is weighted 45% and the hot 505 is weighted 55%

Fuel economy numbers do come from the FTP75, however I don't recall how they are calculated other than the fact the the city number comes from the 860 and the highway comes from the hot 505. My coworker (schmidtj86) had it in a book, but we can't find it!! I'll let know if we find it
