The New European Driving Cycle, a standardized laboratory test procedure formerly used to measure fuel consumption and emissions from passenger cars in Europe. It consisted of a series of simulated driving phases, including urban and extra-urban cycles, performed on a rolling road dynamometer. The NEDC was criticized for not accurately reflecting real-world driving conditions and has been replaced by the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).
