Abstract
The current test protocols cannot produce sufficient response to the peculiarities of a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) which use two kinds of energy sources, such as petroleum fuel and electrical power and fuel consumption ratio which changes depending on the mileage. Since electric-motor vehicles (including PHEV) use electrical power to actually drive the vehicle, performance of the battery which stores electrical power has direct effect on PHEV performance. In this paper, the measurement methods for fuel consumption for PHEV and the concept of type approval test protocol for PHEV in Japan, which are currently being considered, will be discussed.
