Abstract
Effects of different design parameters on the performance
of a hybrid city bus were studied. A system simulation
model of the hybrid city bus was developed and used for
studying the effects of drive motor torque and vehicle
mass on vehicle performance, fuel consumption and
stability during regenerative braking. Increasing the
maximum torque by 60 % from the nominal value was found
to improve the fuel efficiency by 8.3 % when the vehicle
was driven on Braunschweig cycle. On the other hand,
vehicle stability during regenerative braking was
analysed to understand the influence of the braking
torque on vehicle stability. This is particularly
important when operating at limited traction conditions.
In situations where only regenerative braking was
applied, the stability was found insufficient
