The Reduction of Fuel Consumption on the Example of Ecological Hybrid Buses

Article Preview

Abstract:

For city buses, the costs of operation and maintenance are critical in the overall purchase and operation cost analysis. That is why the scientists from the Institute of Combustion Engines and Transport have taken up the subject of economic balance on the example of urban public transport operators. For an objective assessment of the fuel consumption it is necessary to determine all the variables. Hence, driving tests are developed that characterize the actual operating conditions and stringent procedures of their realization are set out. The paper presents the results of the fuel consumption tests carried out on public transport buses (SORT Standardized On-Road Tests Cycles).
