Özet
Efforts for mitigating the CO2 and local pollution levels resulted in the development of advanced powertrains for passenger vehicles and light duty vehicles. However, world’s major cities ambitious emissions targets to reduce carbon dioxide emission levels further, enforces the use of the electrified powertrains in public transport as well. Even though the electrification of these vehicles is seen as a solution, bus manufacturers face off against the range anxiety problem because of the high energy density difference between current batteries and diesel fuel. Therefore, future of the bus manufacturers depends upon the ability to produce low cost, safe, efficient, and clean buses. The challenges that the bus manufacturers faced in prior to the development phase can be resumed as the vehicle designer to make the best possible decision. To be able to do that, researchers and industrial development engineers required to evaluate alternatives and make decisions regarding a wide range of choices by taking into account the returns of investment. Therefore, the focus of this paper is on a set of key parameters such as vehicle weight, rolling resistance and auxiliary load of a Hypotetical electric city bus proposed by Anadolu Isuzu Automotive Industry over various drive cycles which has a greater impact on the range of an electric city bus. The effects were investigated in MATLAB/Simulink environment which helps the decision maker to make effective decisions on a certain design in the shortest possible time. Moreover, it is believed that the information gathered through the analyses will broaden the insight of bus manufacturers and can provide essential information for future electric bus deployment projects.
