Presentation of the results of the validation test program 1 and status of test program 2 (Chassis dyno test program at JRC, HDH drive cycle investigation, and HILS/SILS model verification) and review of open issues for drafting the GTR text.

This report is the final report of the work done by the Universities of Technology in Chalmers, Graz and Vienna and research institute TNO performed within the research program on an emissions and CO2 test procedure for Heavy Duty Hybrids (HDH). This report specifically refers to Validation Test Program 1 (VTP1) under the contract for “Developing the Methodology for Certifying Heavy-Duty Hybrids based on HILS”.

Update on development and validation of the new hybrid heavy-duty vehicle test cycles.

Status of the work towards developing a methodology for certifying heavy-duty hybrids based on “hardware in the loop simulation” (HILS).

Status of the work towards developing a methodology for certifying heavy-duty hybrids based on “hardware in the loop simulation” (HILS).

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.

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.
