Although Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) represent one of the key technologies to reduce CO2 emissions, their effective potential in real world driving conditions strongly depends on performance Energy Management System (EMS) and its capability maximize efficiency powertrain life as well during Type Approval (TA) tests. Attempting close gap between TA European Commission has decided introduce from September 2017 Worldwide Harmonized Light duty Test Procedure (WLTP), replacing previous...
ABSTRACTA plug-in hybrid electric powertrain, as one of the most promising solutions to increase fuel economy and meet stringent requirements low emissions urban zones, has been investigated developed for a light duty commercial vehicle application in this work. The powertrain combines an advanced small diesel internal combustion engine with high energy battery pack, capable assure extended range pure mode specific areas, like low/zero zones. Since right size components is essential fully...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are attractive to reduce the pollution levels of urban areas thanks their zero tail pipe emissions and possibility rely on renewable energies for electricity production. However, market penetration such is restricted by limited range capabilities lack fast charging infrastructures. The Range Extended (R-EX) hybrid technology represents a valuable option address these issues, since it offers benefits an EV, as electric driving medium distances, while still maintaining...
The target for future cooling systems is to control the fluid temperatures and flows through a demand oriented of engine minimize energy achieve comfort, emissions, or service life advantages.The scope this work create complete thermal model (including both lubrication circuits) able reproduce warm up along New European Driving Cycle in order assess impact different management concepts on fuel consumption. cylinder structure was modeled finite element representation liner, piston head...
<div>The transport sector is one of the major parties responsible for carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and pollutants emissions in Europe. For this reason, main commitments European Commission its decarbonization by 2035/2040. To achieve target, during last decades, different propulsion technologies were developed such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in (PHEVs), battery (BEV). The first two proposals can be considered bridging technology between internal combustion...
