Advanced electric vehicle powertrain (ETX-I) performance: vehicle testing
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5115590
The ETX-I powertrain represents the most advanced electric vehicle technology in operation today. This powertrain was developed by Ford Motor Company and General Electric Company as a major element of the US Department of Energy's Electric and Hybrid Vehicle program. During the final phase of this program, a vehicle test plan was developed, test requirements defined, and procedures carefully followed to measure the acceleration, gradability, and energy consumption performance of the powertrain and to characterize component efficiencies. An electric chassis dynamometer was used for the majority of the tests to minimize test variability.
