Revision to Notification for the Act on the Rational Use of Energy (2 pages, in English)

In addition to the total cycle (exclude Extra-High) value of the fuel efficiency on WLTP, the fuel efficiencies on each phase (Low speed phase, Medium speed phase, High speed phase) (hereinafter referred to as the "LMH fuel efficiency") will have to be used as fuel efficiency indication for vehicle by manufacturers/importers in order for vehicle users to be able to acquire the information of fuel efficiency according to the driving environment.*

*The fuel efficiency on JC08 has also been able to be expressed.
