Introducing the WLTP
When purchasing a Nissan car you need to know all the exact facts. Especially when it comes to the environment, you want to know both your vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.
New legislation has been put in place to make this a reality. The legislation is called the "Worldwide Harmonised Light Test Procedure" or WLTP for short. All manufactures around the world will have to undergo this test when developing new cars. Passing this test gives the manufacturer the ability to sell the car in the open market.
This legislation began in 2017, for all new models and powertrains. From January 2018 Nissan will start selling WLTP approved cars. And, from September 2018, all Nissan cars for sale in the dealer network will be WLTP approved. By September 2019 the WLTP legislation will apply to light commercial vehicles too.
