Volvo’s new Electric Hybrid (PHEV) buses with overhead fast charging enter scheduled service in Hamburg for first time; Innovation Route 109

Green Car Congress

Conventional diesel buses will also be used on the route to serve as reference vehicles in the comparison of the innovative drive concepts. The plug-in hybrids have been further developed, and enable rapid recharging from electricity grids via a pantograph on the roof. The complete charging process takes only six minutes.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [ Slow Level 1 charging [ 11 ] should be used to recharge PHEVLER batteries whenever possible. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ PHEVLERs help support the electric grid.

GM Quantifies CO2 and Fuel Consumption Reductions Via E-REVs And PHEVs, As Compared To Conventional Hybrids

Green Car Congress

FCEV” refers to all fuel cell vehicles, including E-REVs and fuel cell hybrids. General Motors has released a white paper that evaluates the CO 2 reduction potential of extended-range electric vehicles (E-REVs) as well as plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), in combination with multiple vehicle charging scenarios, as compared to conventional hybrids.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

UCR team’s new evolutionary-algorithm-based EMS for PHEVs can deliver >30% fuel savings than conventional controls

Green Car Congress

Engineers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a new online energy management system (EMS) based on an evolutionary algorithm for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that they say can improve PHEV fuel efficiency by more than 30%. Broadly, existing EMS for PHEVs are either rule-based or optimization-based.
