Abstract
As fuel consumption and emissions regulations for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) are getting stringent, it is becoming increasingly important to develop new technologies for next generation of HGVs. A new mechanical hybrid system is developed with Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) to increase fuel economy. This system is compared with a conventional system by simulating for driving cycles on AVL CRUISE. A mechanical hybrid controller has been developed and its performance assessed by fuel consumption results on driving cycles of VECTO Long-Haul (Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool) and WHVC (World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle). Driving cycle simulation result provide an insight of target customer of the new technology.
