Abstract
Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have demonstrated the potential to provide significant fuel displacement across a wide range of driving cycles. Companies and research organizations are involved in numerous research activities related to PHEVs. One of the current unknown is the impact of driving conditions and standard test procedure on the true benefits of PHEVs from a worldwide perspective. To address this issue, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) have partnered under the IEA Annex XV task to evaluate the market specificities between Europe and U.S. Four different PHEV powertrain configurations with four All Electric Range will be analyzed under different standards (i.e., NEDC, UDDS, HWFET) and real world drive cycles (i.e. ARTEMIS…). The impact of different driving behavior for Europe and the US market will be analyzed through component sizing, fuel consumption benefits as well as Green House Gases (GHGs) considering the electricity production mix. The study will provide insight on how PHEVs can be designed to support worldwide market introduction of a limited number of vehicle options to maximize market penetration.
Highlights
National authorities all over the world have defined more stringent CO2 standards to decrease the overall fuel consumption of light duty vehicles
Despite the fact that the UDDS was selected for the US and the Artemis Urban for Europe, the main electric machine power for the input split PHEV15 varies from 69.4 kW for Europe to 68.8 kW for the US
The exception is for the highway drive cycles (Artemis Highway and HWFET) where the pure series configuration shows a higher fuel consumption than for the reference conventional vehicle, due to high powertrain losses
Summary
National authorities all over the world have defined more stringent CO2 standards to decrease the overall fuel consumption of light duty vehicles.
