Electrifying commercial vehicles in Australia

该项目旨在为澳大利亚商用车行业开发替代混合动力和纯电动汽车技术。全球对温室气体和严格的车辆燃料消耗的担忧已经改变了车辆传动系统，并创造了对混合动力和电动汽车技术的需求。该项目将研究商用车的不同动力总成配置，并使用数值模拟来评估车辆的燃油经济性、生命周期排放和生命周期成本，并展示这些替代方案的好处。这些车辆技术有可能减少该部门高达50%的燃料，并减少整个商业运输部门的车辆排放和运营成本。

This project aims to develop alternative hybrid electric and pure electric vehicle technologies for the Australian commercial vehicle sector. Worldwide concern about greenhouse gases and stringent vehicle fuel consumption have changed vehicle driveline systems, and created demand for hybrid and electric automotive technologies. This project will examine different powertrain configurations for commercial vehicles, and use numerical simulations to evaluate vehicle fuel economy, life cycle emissions and life cycle costs and demonstrate the benefits of these alternatives. These vehicle technologies have the potential to reduce fuel in this sector by up to 50%, and reduce vehicle emissions and operational costs across the commercial transportation sector.
