FY 2009 Annual Progress Report for Advanced Vehicle Technology Analysis and Evaluation Activities and Heavy Vehicle Systems Optimization Program
The AVTAE team’s mission is to evaluate the technologies and performance characteristics of advanced automotive powertrain components and subsystems in an integrated vehicle systems context, covering light to heavy platforms. This work is directed toward evaluating and verifying the targets of the VT technology R&D teams and to providing guidance in establishing roadmaps for achievement of these goals. The prime objective of the AVTAE team activities is to evaluate VT Program targets and associated data that will enable the VT technology R&D teams to focus research on specific technology areas. The areas of interest are technologies that will maximize the potential for fuel efficiency improvements, as well as petroleum displacement, and tailpipe emissions reduction. AVTAE accomplishes this objective through a tight union of computer modeling and simulation, integrated component testing and emulation, and laboratory and field testing of vehicles and systems. AVTAE also supports the VT Program goals of fuel consumption reduction by developing and evaluating vehicle system technologies in the area of vehicle ancillary loads reduction.
