Proposal from the research institutions involved in assessing and adapting hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) methodologies to the evaluation of heavy-duty hybrids for the anticipated second phase work to produce a HILS tool for use in GTR 4 hybrid vehicle provisions.

Assessment of hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) methodologies and proposals for enhancements (e.g. more topologies, component library, temperature signals to include cold start tests).

Summary report (identical to document HDH-10-03) on the assessment of the hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) methodology for heavy-duty hybrid emissions proposed by Japan.

Investigation into various methods in use for evaluating heavy-duty hybrid emissions and CO2 performance.

TU-Wien presentation on its work with IFA on the assessment of HILS methodology and suggestions for the GTR validation test program.
