  2. 1. The Pneumatic Hybrid Vehicle - A New Concept for Fuel Consumption Reduction

    Author : Sasa Trajkovic; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VVA; Regenerative; Air-motor; Compressor; Pneumatic; Hybrid; Vehicle; Electric Hybrid; Drive Cycle; GT-Power; Simulink; FPGA;

    Abstract : Urban traffic involves frequent acceleration and deceleration. During deceleration, the energy previously used to accelerate the vehicle is mainly wasted on heat generated by the friction brakes. If this energy that is wasted in traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) could be saved, the fuel economy would improve. READ MORE

  4. 2. Radical Innovation: Management and policy for electric and hybrid electric vehicle development

    Author : Hans M Pohl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; first-mover; hybrid; policy; electric vehicle; interparadigmatic; innovation; evolutionary; radical; Paradigm; automotive;

    Abstract : Technological change can be divided into two categories: in line with the mainstream trajectory or paradigm (continuous, incremental), or breaking with it (discontinuous, radical). This thesis aims to increase understanding of the latter type: paradigmatic shifts in technology. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis of a novel Transversal Flux Machine with a tubular cross-section for Free Piston Energy Converter application

    Author : Alija Cosic; Chandur Sadarangani; Nicola Bianchi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronic measurement and instrumentation; Elektronisk mät- och apparatteknik;

    Abstract : Constantly growing need for oil, all over the world, has caused oil price to rise rapidly during the last decade. High oil prices have made fuel economy as one of the most important factors when consumers are buying their cars today. READ MORE

  6. 4. Towards sustainable urban transportation : Test, demonstration and development of fuel cell and hybrid-electric buses

    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Look-ahead Control of Heavy Vehicles

    Author : Erik Hellström; Lars Nielsen; Jan Åslund; Lino Guzzella; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automotive control; dynamic programming; predictive control; fuel-optimal control; long haulage truck; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Trucks are responsible for the major part of inland freight and so, they are a backbone of the modern economy but they are also a large consumer of energy. In this context, a dominating vehicle is a truck with heavy load on a long trip. READ MORE
