VDL Series Hybrid configuration

VDL is realising a long haulage series-hybrid e-coach with ICE range extender and zero-emissions driving range capability, enabling its operation in a Zero Urban Emission Zone (ZUEZ) within cities with…

IRIZAR P2 hybrid powertrain configuration and connected strategies

To reduce GHG emissions and contribute to the project´s objectives, IRIZAR has proposed to develop a Hybrid vehicle with State of the Art (SotA) Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) fueled with…

IRIZAR savings potential

Simulation shows up to 7,59% of potential saving with hybridization and electrification! However, it varies quite a lot depending on the driving cycle.  

IRIZAR Hybrid Architecture

Due to a good compromise among Fuel economy, CO2 emissions and powertrain integration complexity (which have direct impact on TCO), parallel hybrid powertrain topologies are currently a suitable HEV solution…

Innovative coolant pump design and testing

A Slide Vane Rotating Pump was designed by University of l’Aquila and two different prototypes of the SVRP (bronze blades and graphite blades) were built and tested by O.M.P. – Officine…

Innovative combustion and ignition system – CFD and SCE activities update

FPT is very pleased  with the excellent combution system called SwumbleTM, meaning a significant improvement of the efficiency of the spark-ignited engine is in sight! The single cylinder engine (SCE)…

DAF 50% BTE improvement

September 2022 Bringing all engine measures together a BTE of more than 50 % can be achieved when using HVO fuel. This means that DAF found a roadmap towards 50%,…

Prototypes of engines and drivelines ready

From start, both SCE and full engine building was going to plan. Now, the DAF developments have gone into a crucial phase with Multi-Cylinder Engine Testing and validation taking place….

Novel electric motor design, first VOLVO prototype shows 10% energy savings

A full-size electric motor 200kW has been designed, procured, installed and prepared for tests at Chalmers. The electric motor is an Electrically Excited Synchronous Machine (EESM). It currently is installed…

Vehicle Testing

Baseline Vehicle Testing has taken place. This concerns an evaluation of the baseline vehicles according to the methodology defined earlier. A reference vehicle available on the market has been determined…

Model for passive NOx adsorbers

A model was developed that is able to describe the state of the passive NOx adsorber, which is critical for the use of PNA, since it must be empty when…

Thermal insulation (FEV)

Partner FEV has developed a deep understanding of what thermal insulation’s contribution can be towards proving the engine efficiency potential by thermal insulation to contribute to reach 50% brake thermal…

Connected Services for Heavy-Duty Transport Mission Profile Optimization and Impact Assessment (IFPEN)

  IFPEN deals with the development of certain connected and energy management features, specifically the eco-routing and electric range estimation features. The goal was to optimize the on-board energy consumption…
