ABSTRACT
A method of a reference fuel consumption calculation for a registered operating conditions has been presented in this work. The operating conditions have been described using specific energy consumption, which takes into account both an influence of external conditions and driver’s style of driving. Results of experiments performed on the territory of the city of Gdańsk in normal urban traffic have been presented. The new concept of estimation of vehicle drive system efficiency and related examples have been also included.
