Influence of the main parameters of the car on fuel consumption in driving cycles
The article presents the results of using the developed simulation model aimed at estimating the fuel consumption of a light commercial vehicle in road traffic cycles. There have been conducted virtual tests. The analysis of the influence of the main parameters of the car on fuel consumption in the NEDC and WLTC cycles is performed. There have been established numerical values of the average fuel consumption indicator through variation in the main design parameters. The distribution of energy consumption during the motion of the car is shown.
