A test cycle covers \( 11 \) km in \( 1180 \) s. Its average speed is

  • A.33.6 km/h
  • B.9.3 km/h
  • C.107 km/h
  • D.18.6 km/h

Answer: A

Correct answer: 33.6 km/h

Convert the time to hours before dividing:

\[ \frac{11}{1180/3600} = \frac{11 \times 3600}{1180} = 33.6\ \mathrm{km/h} \]

An average of about 34 km/h characterises a mixed urban and extra-urban cycle, and the figure matters because emissions are strongly load dependent. A cycle whose average speed is far below real driving will understate the emissions a vehicle produces in service - the criticism that led to the newer test procedures.
