A typical driving cycle represents a distinctive way of driving in a city or highway, considering vehicle technology, traffic characteristics, climatic and geographical characteristics, and driving style. These driving cycles are of great importance, among other purposes, to adequately plan the development of a city, the development of technology for new automobiles, and inventories of polluting emissions and energy consumption. Under this context, the representative driving cycle of an electric vehicle used as a taxi in Loja, Ecuador, is determined. This driving cycle was defined to specify the behavior and driving pattern of the city’s electric vehicle used as public transportation and its intrinsic relationship with energy consumption. A speed-time series of 548 s, 36% acceleration time, and 0.57 kWh traction energy consumption was determined as a representative driving cycle with the deterministic methodology of Minimum Weighted Differences of Characteristic Parameters (MWD-CP).
