Abstract :
Energy efficiencies of different hybrid systems are investigated in an urban bus cycle. A diesel bus is converted into a multihybrid bus also capable of operating in a direct diesel drive. The target is to investigate which kind of a hybrid system provides the lowest fuel consumption in different operating conditions.
