Benefits of electrified powertrains in medium and heavy duty vehicles

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1583124
Medium and heavy duty (MD-HD) vehicles account for over 26% of the petroleum consumption in the United States. The benefits of electrified powertrains for light-duty vehicles are well understood. Quantifying the benefits of powertrain electrification will help fleet operators understand the advantages or limitations in adopting electrified powertrains in their fleets. MD-HD vehicles vary in size and shape as they are designed for specific applications. It is necessary to model each kind of truck separately to understand what kind of powertrain architecture will be feasible for their daily operations. This paper examines 12 types of vehicles and 5 powertrain technology choices, to identify most feasible powertrain electrification options for each application.
