Optimizing Powertrain Systems for Better Fuel Efficiency and Lower Emissions
- Unveiled real-world efficiency gains: Generated a comprehensive drive cycle simulating a diverse 12+ km route with varied road types to compare fuel economy and emissions.
- Analysed key parameters like gear strategy, engine operating modes, battery usage patterns, and regenerative braking efficiency to propose strategies enhancing fuel economy by 7.69% and reducing emissions by 12% in hybrid powertrains.
- Validated an electric hybrid powertrain model using GT-Power software, confirming a 7% improvement in fuel efficiency and a 15% reduction in emissions in a virtual environment.
- Discussed ICE powertrain aspects such as fuel consumption, emission levels, brake-specific fuel consumption, and external forces acting on the vehicle
