Mazda 6GT (Diesel 2.2L) — Brisbane & Northern NSW, 15–18 March 2014

Four road trials. One vehicle.

Four road trials across two route profiles produced route averages of 44.01% and 44.24%, and a total average of 44.12%. Fill-to-fill results were independently supervised by Steve Eccles, Certified ADR Compliance Tester.

Independent validation & testing context

Real data drives real opportunity.

Real-world testing conditions

Tests were conducted under consistent, real-world driving conditions with live vehicle load, standardised driving protocols and documented fuel-measurement procedures.

Independent supervision

The Mazda 6 testing was supervised and the results verified at each stage by Mr Steve Eccles, Australian Government Inspector, for ADR compliance and accuracy of the fuel-consumption testing. Signed ADR compliance documentation was issued following completion of the diesel and petrol tests.

Real-world testing vs ADR bench testing

A real-world road test and an Australian ADR laboratory/bench test should not be treated as directly equivalent methodologies. ADR testing is conducted under prescribed, controlled conditions for regulatory assessment; the EX10D Mazda testing evaluated vehicle behaviour on actual roads, under live load and real operating conditions.

Complementary evidence

For EX10D fleet validation, the real-world results provide complementary operational evidence rather than a substitute for ADR certification testing.
