Strategic Drive for Low Emissions Commercial Vehicles

该项目将于2017年中期在伦敦投放20辆插电式混合动力（PHEV）福特过境海关。这些车辆将是一个先进的概念验证车队，旨在评估混合动力汽车在商用车平台上的性能，并与一系列运营商一起在市中心进行一系列操作。该项目的产出将确认在城市内部环境中使用插电式混合动力汽车的空气质量、二氧化碳效益和运营成本。该项目将支持混合动力系统的优化，允许通过真实世界的反馈对组件尺寸和系统平衡进行微调。这是一个具有重要战略意义的项目，它将提高商用车排放的基准，并提供一条技术路径，提供零排放能力，结合出色的车辆效用和可承受的成本模式。

The project will be placing 20 plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) Ford Transit customs into London during mid-2017. These vehicles will be an advanced proof of concept fleet aimed at evaluating the performance of the Hybrid in a commercial vehicle platform over a range of inner city operations with a range of operators. The projects outputs will allow confirm the air quality, CO2 benefits and operating costs from using the plug-in hybrid in the inner city environment. The project will support the optimisation of the hybrid systems allowing fine tuning to component sizing and systems balances via real world feedback. This is a strategically important project that will move the bench mark for commercial vehicle emissions and provide a technology path that offers zero emissions capability combined with excellent vehicle utility and an affordable cost model.
