RELEASE DATE:2022-12-02 15:46
BriefOn October 27, 2022, GSO released the 2024 Model Year. With the release of GSO 2024 MY, Saudi Arabia's latest fuel economy standard SASO 2864-2022 has also begun to attract attention. The implementation period of this standard is from 2024.1.1 to 2028.12. 31. Compared with SASO 2864-2022 and SASO 2864-2019, There are several major changes as follows.



MAIN UPDATE POINTS
Compared with SASO 2864-2019, the main changes are as follows:
1. the values of the constants in the target curve formula have changed, including the upper and lower fuel economy limits, slope, intercept, etc. The fuel consumption targets obtained by substituting the constants are more stringent, as shown in the following comparison screenshot.

2. Pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles take into account a combination of cityroad conditions andhighway conditions when converting energy consumption into kilometres per litre equivalent.

3. Anew fuel economy equivalent calculation method for fuel cell electric vehicles.
4.5.2.1.5 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)
(FEe)FCEV = FEg × 0.425143
FEg: is the fuel economy of the fuel cell vehicle in miles / kg of hydrogen (H2).

4. The manufacturer may test the fuel economy of the vehicle in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) cycle or the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTP) test procedure, and if the manufacturer chooses to use this method, the combined fuel economy values will need to be converted in accordance with Table 1 or Table 2 of this regulation.

5. Heavy duty electric vehicles may be included in the standard as appropriate.
