Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the results of the simulation model employed for fuel consumption analysis of a light commercial vehicle in road traffic cycles; virtual tests are performed. The motor vehicle main parameters are analysed for impact on fuel consumption in NEDC and WLTC cycles. Changes of average fuel consumption are quantified for varying main parameters of the vehicle structure. The distribution of energy consumption for the vehicle in motion is demonstrated. On the basis of the regression analysis impact coefficients of individual gear ratios on the average fuel consumption of a light commercial vehicle are obtained.
