International Vehicle Labeling Programs and Recommendations for a Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Labeling Program in China
2022
Author(s): Niu T, Rodríguez F, Ragon P-L
The study analyzes national programs dealing with environmental labeling of heavy-duty vehicles, and recommends steps China or other markets can take to establish a robust HDV labeling program
Identification and Evaluation of Barriers in Implementation of Electric Mobility in India
2022
Author(s): James AT, Kumar G, Pundhir A, Tiwari S, Sharma R, James J
Transportation is the primary source of greenhouse gases, which are mostly contributed by fossil fuel-driven automobiles. The entire world is now focusing on reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and switching to using electric vehicles.
A Review of Critical State Joint Estimation Methods of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Wen C, Xu Q, Chen M, Xiao Z, Wen J, Luo Y, Zhao X, Liang Y, Liang K.
Battery state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), and state of power (SOP) are decisive factors that influence the energy-management system (EMS) performance of electric vehicles. However, the accurate estimation of SOC, SOH, and SOP remains challenging due to the high nonlinearity of the battery dynamic characteristics and the strong coupling among the states
Technical Feasibility of Heavy-Duty Battery-Electric Trucks for Urban and Regional Delivery in Germany—A Real-World Case Study
2022
Author(s): Link S, Plötz P.
This case study aims to assess the technical feasibility of urban and regional delivery in Germany based on real-world and per-vehicle operational data that feed into an energy simulation with Monte-Carlo modeling.
Where to Charge Electric Trucks in Europe—Modelling a Charging Infrastructure Network
2022
Author(s): Speth D, Sauter V, Plötz P.
The European Union plans to build a fast charging network for trucks to decarbonize road freight transport. This paper presents two scenarios covering European highways with charging stations at regular intervals every 50 or 100 km along the most important highways.
Long Range Metal-air Battery Technology
Inventor/Assignee: Weston Arthur Hermann| Assignee:
A metal-air battery uses metal as an anode just like a li-ion battery, but oxygen drawn in from the environment is used as the cathode.
Potential of Load Shifting in a Parking Garage with Electric Vehicle Chargers, Local Energy Production and Storage
2022
Author(s): Castellucci V, Wallberg A, Flygare C.
This article provides a case study based on a real-world parking garage with a smart grid infrastructure called Dansmästaren. The analysis shows how renewable energy sources, energy storage technologies, and smart charging of electric vehicles can smooth out the load curve of the parking garage and relieve the electric grid during peak hours.
Effects of the Incorporation of Electric Vehicles on Protection Coordination in Microgrids
2022
Author(s): Saldarriaga-Zuluaga SD, López-Lezama JM, Zuluaga Ríos CD, Villa Jaramillo A.
Electric vehicles (EVs) would connect to the grid using clean, renewable electricity; however, the interconnection between EVs and the grid brings about new challenges for traditional power systems. Plug-in hybrid and plug-in EVs have become more prevalent in the system; therefore, their impacts and benefits are also of concern.
Life-Cycle Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Hydrogen, and Recommendations for China
2022
Author(s): Yuanrong Z, Zhen Z, Li Y
This study estimates the carbon intensity of eleven hydrogen pathways in China and compares them to the eligibility requirements for the fuel cell vehicle (FCV) pilot city program in China that promotes the adoption of FCVs and the use of hydrogen fuel.
Recommendations for the Next Generation of China’s Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emission Standard Based on Testing of China VI Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Niu T, Rodríguez F
This study analyzes on-road and laboratory testing of two trucks certified under the China VI-b emission standard and examines the gaps between China VI and the latest developments in European standards.
