RAM Trucks Imported by AEC to Europe Are All WLTP Compliant and Are Available for Customers.

• All 2019 RAM 1500 Trucks imported officially by Auto Export Corporation (AEC) are approved under the new laboratory test procedure WLTP reflecting more realistic fuel consumption.
• Thanks to leading technological developments in vehicle homologation and certification, AEC is at the forefront for implementing the new standards.

MUNICH, Germany, November 20, 2018 (Newswire.com) - “Our 20 years of experience in the homologation of North American vehicles for the European Market combined with industry leading technological developments implemented in early 2018 allow us to offer the entire range of compliant RAM Trucks to our customers and to keep our leadership on homologation of FCA vehicles,” explains Andrew Pilsworth, Chief Executive Officer of Auto Export Corporation (AEC), official importer of FCA for Dodge and RAM in the EU /EFTA.

WLTP is a more rigorous and longer test which delivers a much more accurate on-road basis for calculating a car’s fuel consumption and emissions than the outdated NEDC test method. This provides greater transparency to the customer, allowing them to make well-informed comparisons by demonstrating a greater approximation to real-world driving conditions.
