  • Abstract
    In this paper the driving range of a commercial Electric Vehicle is extended using a low power fuel cell system. By using two driving cycles (Urban Driving Cycle (UDC) and a real cycle), both vehicles are compared in simulation using Energetic Macroscopic Representation. By adding a 1.2 kW fuel cell system and 2700 sl, 19.5 kg hydrogen tanks, the driving range is extended from 105.6 km to 128.2 km for an UDC, and from 68.3 km to 73.2 km for a real cycle.
