Abstract
This paper presents the energy consumption results from the 2012 RAC Future Car Challenge. It discusses measurement techniques for the different types of powertrain and draws conclusions about their applicability to different vehicle segments. The energy consumption of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is analysed in detail to illustrate separately electric versus fuel energy consumption.
