Abstract:

The vehicle performances, fuel consumptions and in-use carbon dioxide emissions were simulated for a light commercial van with 150 km daily travel and 4.5 t gross mass to determine the optimal fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission for the range-extender electric system and the series hybrid system. A rule-based strategy (RB) and a dynamic equivalent consumption minimization strategy (DECMS) were employed considering fair comparison and practicability before proposing an improved mixed strategy (M-DECMS). The results show that the range-extender electric vehicle (REEV) reduces the fuel consumption by 30.1% and reduces carbon dioxide emission by 16.65% compared with the series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) with two mass-production engines of 1.2 L and 1.5 L, under the China World Transient Vehicle Cycle (C-WTVC). Therefore, the range-extender electric system helps to reduce the fuel consumption and the in-use carbon dioxide emission comparing with the series hybrid system.

Key words: hybrid commercial vehicles, range-extender electric vehicles, energy management strategy, series configuration, dynamic equivalent consumption minimization strategy (DECMS), China world transient vehicle cycle (C-WTVC)
