I'll try and find it - had to do with the three new additional 'drive/duty cycles' (slang term ) and the revisions for temp if I'm remembering correctly.
I was somewhat surprised the first time I saw it mentioned - in a sense.
There appears to be a wider than previous range of fuel economy performance developing in the diesel community for these first two years or so of T2B5 - both in terms of estimates which are BS here for sure but also possibly in terms of real world as well.
We shall see.
I'm really looking forward to all this regardless of who does and says what.
One way or another, it will get done - in the real world - at least in certain garage spaces.
