Abstract
In this article, the procedure of series hybridizing is fulfilled on the O457 city bus that is produced in Irankhodro Diesel Company. For simulation validation the bus with base diesel engine is simulated in European and Tehran compound urban–highway driving cycle and fuel consumption results compared. First the ECE_EUDC_LOW driving cycle simulation results compared with the results of the advisor software that was some difference between two software results. For deep validation bus with base engine was simulated in Tehran driving cycle and fuel consumption calculated 53.26 Lit/100Km that was near actual value that is 59.48 Lit/100Km. After verification, a bus with series hybrid electric-diesel powertrain was designed and simulated in the European and Tehran driving cycle. Simulation results and experimental data’s shown that the series hybrid electric-diesel bus fuel consumption reduction in the ECE_EUDC_LOW driving cycle, is 30% and in Tehran driving cycle is 39% less in comparison to base power train that is base diesel engine.
