Road vehicles account for almost half of the energy used in all transport modes globally. Reducing energy use in vehicles is key to meeting the forecast increase in demand for transport, while improving energy security and mitigating climate change. Non-powertrain vehicle options may reduce fuel consumption by at least 15%. Electric motors are the...

The objective proposed by the EU to drastically reduce vehicular CO2 emission for the years up to 2030 requires an increase of propulsion systems’ efficiency, and accordingly, the improvement their technology. Hybrid electric vehicles could have a chance of achieving this, by recovering energy during braking phases, running in pure electric mode an...

Thispaper puts forwards a design method base on a electric power-assisted HybridElectric Vehicle (HEV), which take dead-weight into account to design itsparameter of pivotal components among many actual design methods. Then simulatingand analyzing are made in ADVISOR about its fuel economyand emission. The results of simulation indicated that the fuel economy andemission levels of electric power-assisted HEV which take dead-weight intoaccount to choose its powertrain parameters is far better than the vehiclewhich used the conventional method.
