Abstract
With the requirements for reducing emissions and improving fuel economy, new markets have become attractive for automotive companies that are developing electric, hybrid, and plug-in vehicles using new technologies candidates to be implemented in the next generations of vehicles. Most of all, hybrid vehicles are attracting interest due to great potential to achieve higher fuel economy and a longer range with respect to pure electric mode but often this solution is not petroleum free. Within a national project CNR TAE Institute is involved in the development of a zero emission hybrid electric city bus based on PEM fuel cell technology able to increase the range at least 30% with respect to the same vehicle in pure electric configuration. Design, control and preliminary results are reported in this paper.
