Abstract :
This paper focused on how to design for series hybrid electric vehicles in transit buses for urban route. The vehicle configurations, system´s specifications, components and system simulation results have been described in detail. In this paper, the result of the simulation is carried out to evaluate the system´s performance in the improvement of fuel economy for specified driving schedule for urban route. Each component for vehicle and propulsion system modeling was carried out. This paper describes a short comparison of difference in fuel consumption between a conventional bus of diesel engine with manual transmission and a series hybrid electric bus consisting of a 240 kW electric traction motor-generator with reduction gear and 60 kW GENSET with 3.9 litter diesel engine. It also shows the result of the simulation for fuel economy with different kinds of battery.
