Impact of Increased Vehicle Weight on Energy Consumption of Diverse Powertrain Options Under Real-World Driving in Bangkok: Presented at EVS 31 EVTeC 2018, Kobe, Japan, October 1 - 3, 2018

摘要

The present study investigated the changes of the energy consumption under increased laden weight in traffic conditions of Bangkok for C-segment passenger cars. The vehicles were loaded 10, 20 and 30% of its design weight. Based on the vehicle specific power method, the results showed that the energy consumption for ICEV increases strongly once the laden weight reaches 20 and 30%. EV is much less sensitive. In terms of the total cost of ownership, from a slightly higher cost of EV at the baseline, when the weight increase reaches 30%. the use of EV yields 5% advantage over ICEV.
