Performance and efficiency optimisation of fuel cell hybrid vehicles
Completed Research Project

Aim

Optimisation of the Volkswagen Group's fuel cell hybrid vehicles „HyMotion 3“

Approach

Developing a simulation of the longitudinal dynamics

  • Simulation environment based on the characteristic curves of the system
  • Integration of laboratory and manufacturer data into the simulation environment

Measuring the vehicles on a chassis dynamometer

  • Validation of the simulation of the longitudinal dynamics
  • Development of an evaluation concept
  • Regular measurement of the vehicle fleet

Performance optimisation

  • Analysis of the reserve capacities and optimisation of the driving dynamics

Efficiency optimisation

  • Development of new hybrid strategies
