Abstract
To reduce energy consumption and make effective use of petroleum
resources, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corporation has been
conducting R&D on a revolutionary high-efficiency hybrid truck,
under commission from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
as part of the Advanced Clean Energy Vehicle Project (ACE Project)
of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Integrated Development
Organization (NEDO). The objective of this development is to
achieve high energy efficiency with far lower CO2 discharge
surpassing diesel engine trucks that are the core means of
transport in the physical distribution industry. We therefore
adopted a combination of a compressed natural gas engine with the
newly developed series/parallel HEV control system presented at
EVS- 16 held in 1999. This paper introduces our studies on the
control of hybrid vehicles by the drive control system developed in
the ACE project, with the objectives of achieving optimum vehicle
efficiency and high serviceability of the HEV.
