This paper presents the evaluation of a new onboard system designed to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 production. GERICO system enables the driver to adopt the best driving behaviour, smooth speed and good gear management. We carried out 80 tests (40 baselines, 20 with training and 20 with GERICO) with 40 drivers in the Toulouse area. The main results show that training contributes to a 12% co...

The adaptive power management strategy is developed for a four-mode plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in this paper. For a given driving pattern, dynamic programming is employed to obtain the global optimum as the performance upper bound to benchmark the proposed strategy. A selforganizing fuzzy controller is used to adaptively adjust the equivalence factor for converting the electric power usage...

Significant reduction in fuel consumption and NOx emissions can be achieved just by changing the driving along road. In this paper, dynamic programming is employed to find two different profiles optimized for creation minimization a diesel vehicle. Results, show that cycle leads savings of 4% compared with average arbitrary driving. The profile improves 34.5%. oriented fuel-oriented 38% at expe...

EPS in modern cars can significantly reduce fuel consumption when compared to cars using hydraulic solutions. Industry studies have shown that EPS can save up to 85 percent of the energy normally needed to steer a vehicle with conventional hydraulic systems. The result is fuel consumption reductions of up to 0.3 liters per 100 kilometers driven. EPS is so efficient because the system is only ac...

The driving cycle of the vehicle is taken as basis test, which plays an important role in improving performance and reducing energy consumption. Traditional fuel vehicles have been studied more current stage. Test conditions specifically for pure electric less studied. data acquisition method used to collect data. was established through extraction analysis characteristic parameters. research r...

To determine the amount of air pollutants, produced by Iranian automakers, and compare it with old and retrofitted vehicles have become one of the important tools of urban management. The present research uses International Vehicle Emission (IVE) modeling software in order to verify SAIPA Co. fleet emissions, based on Euro 4 emission standard (SAIPA Co. recognized as a superior Iranian brand in...

The first commercially available plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the General Motors (GM) Volt, was introduced into the market in mid-December 2010. The Volt uses a series-split powertrain architecture, which provides benefits over the series architecture that typically has been considered for use in electric-range extended vehicles (EREVs). A specialized EREV powertrain, called the Volt...
