Description
Summary:Reducing fuel consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions is a major challenge for the automotive industry. To help achieve this goal, Diesel combustion engines as well as hybrid architectures are often used to further improve vehicle fuel efficiency. Combining these two technologies, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid 4 was the first production vehicle utilizing a Diesel engine in a full hybrid powertrain with significant electric operating capability. This paper briefly introduces this vehicle's hybrid topology and provides analysis regarding vehicle fuel consumption and operation over a large panel of drive cycles as well as hot (35°C) and cold (-7°C) ambient conditions.
