Analysis of Energy Consumption and Possibility of Further Reduction of a Fuel Cell Garbage Truck

摘要

emissions of a conventional diesel engine garbage truck, we developed an electric motor driven fuel cell garbage truck. It was designed based on analytical result of two garbage collection routes, Kanmon-route and Imajuku-minami route of Shunan City of Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It was trial produced to satisfy the same driving performance as a conventional diesel engine garbage truck. A chassis dynamo test was performed to compare the vehicle component energy consumption with a conventional diesel engine garbage truck during two driving scenarios, general driving (Tokyo No. 8 mode) and garbage collection driving (Tokyo garbage collection mode). From the chassis dynamo test, the energy consumption reduction rates when the diesel vehicle was replaced by the fuel cell vehicle were 69% in the Tokyo No. 8 mode and 81% in the Tokyo garbage collection mode.
